Niv Gilboa furious on live broadcast: 'I will throw this at you'
A popular product sold for only 5 shekels managed to infuriate the well-known presenter on live television. After refusing to put the dish in his mouth, he decided to get rid of it in a particularly provocative way in front of the cameras.
A routine taste test on the program 'Gilboa Index' on the i24NEWS channel turned into a scene of media turmoil live on air. At the center of the drama was a hot dog from the yellow chain, which is sold at a discounted price of only five shekels. However, what was supposed to be a light review of an accessible meal solution quickly turned into a display of nerves by the well-known food critic.
As soon as Gilboa opened the packaging in front of the cameras, his facial expression illustrated the extent of the disappointment: the bun was completely dry, with no trace of sauce, ketchup, or toppings.
'It's without anything? Without ketchup?' wondered Gilboa, looking completely stunned by the meager appearance of the dish.
The anger in the studio escalated quickly, until Gilboa threatened half-jokingly towards the camera crew: 'I will throw this hot dog at you'.
The esteemed food critic flatly refused to put the dish in his mouth and decided to get rid of it on live broadcast. The opportunity arrived the moment the channel's military correspondent entered the studio, who received an unusual welcome. Gilboa hurried to push the dry bun into his hands and snapped at him: 'A military correspondent always comes in to eat, take it, eat it, and don't choke'.
While the rest of the panel members tried to calm the spirits, defend the product, and argue that it is a cost-effective solution for those who are hungry, Gilboa stood his ground and did not agree to take even one bite. The entire incident provided viewers with an extraordinary television moment of a storm in the studio surrounding the most basic product.
