Women's stories are important. Even though this story is about eating snow. But be warned, as Reese Witherspoon found out the hard way: making a TikTok meal in the snow may result in a chilly reception. After using two mugs to shovel the freshly fallen snow off her car, Witherspoon added chocolate syrup and salted caramel syrup before topping the whole thing off with some cold brew and enjoying it. “Salted Snowy Capaccino…a Snow Salt Chococinno,” she called the variant on shaved ice.
But not long after she shared her recipe with the world, the world called her disgusting… in so many words. Fans reacted with horror at the comment that the Morning Show star ate snow, which appears to be a controversial practice. “Shouldn't I eat snow?” Witherspoon asked in a follow-up video, even putting another cup of snow in the microwave to show that it was clear and not dirty. “We're kind of in the 'you only live once' category and it snows here maybe once a year. “Also, I want to say something… it was delicious,” she added. “I didn’t grow up with filtered water, I grew up with tap water,” she said in her third video response to the haters. “We drank from the hose, we put our mouths on the hose… maybe that's why I'm like that.” A little snow certainly won't faze Reese Witherspoon, who has endured far more treacherous conditions – for example, than she's used to Wildly lugging a 65-pound backpack up the Oregon Trail or having to walk the red carpet with Ashton Kutcher.
