Reese Witherspoon’s recent snow-eating adventure has caused quite a stir among her fans. In a TikTok video uploaded on Thursday January 18, the beloved actress showcased her unique creation made from real-life snow collected from outside her home.
While some fans expressed concern about the cleanliness of the treat, others praised her for participating in a wholesome activity that brought back fond memories of their childhoods.
Witherspoon’s video begins with her explaining the inspiration behind her snowy delight. “We got a ton of snow over the past few days, so we decided to make a recipe,” she says in a voice-over. The clip shows her scooping snow from her car and filling two mugs with it. To enhance the flavor, Witherspoon adds salted caramel syrup and chocolate syrup, drizzling them over the snow. She then tops it off with a splash of cold brew coffee to create a unique cappuccino-like dessert. After taking a bite, she exclaims, “Oh my gosh. That’s so good.”

However, not all fans were convinced. In the comments section of the post, some expressed concern about the cleanliness of using snow as an ingredient. They questioned whether it was safe to consume snow collected from outside, considering potential pollutants and contaminants.
“No no no.. snow is not made to eat.. U can get seriously sick,” one TikTok commenter said under her video.
On the other hand, many fans came to Witherspoon’s defense, appreciating her for engaging in a wholesome activity that reminded them of their childhoods. They saw her snowy creation as a fun and innocent way to enjoy the winter season, harking back to the days when they would make snow cones or eat snowballs.
Another fan commented, “Fallen snow can be very dirty from the air and wind but who cares. You only live once. I remember eating snow as a kid.”
Meanwhile, Witherspoon has since responded to those comments in a few follow-up videos. While responding back to claims that snow is dirty, the actress said she put the snow in the microwave and the water came out clear. In another clip, she also explained how she’s used to not drinking filtered water so the snow eating wasn’t alarming to her.
