Women’s stories matter. Even if that story involves eating snow. But be careful, as Reese Witherspoon found out the hard way, when you eat TikTok food on ice, you may get a cold reception. After Witherspoon scooped freshly fallen snow from her car with two cups, she added chocolate syrup and salted caramel syrup to the giveaway, before topping it off with some cold brew and enjoying. “Ice salted cappuccino… ice salted chococino,” she called the shaved ice a “twist.”
But shortly after she shared her description with the world, the world called her disgusting…in so many words. Fans took to the comments in horror at that Morning show The star was eating snow, an apparently controversial practice. “Aren’t I supposed to eat snow?” Witherspoon asked in a later video, even heating up another cup of ice in the microwave to show it was clear and not dirty. “We’re kind of in the ‘you only live once’ category, and it probably snows once a year here. She added: ‘I also want to say something… it was delicious.'” She added in her third video response to haters: “I didn’t grow up “I drink filtered water, I drink from the tap.” “We drank from the hose, and we put our mouth on the hose… Maybe that’s why I’m like this.” A little snow certainly won’t kill Reese Witherspoon, who has survived much more dangerous conditions – Like carrying a 65-pound backpack down the Oregon Trail for Wild, Or having to walk the red carpet with Ashton Kutcher.
