Reese Witherspoon is going to have fun in the snow this winter, no matter what fans have to say.
The Morning Show actress-producer took to TikTok on Friday to share a video of her making what she called a “snow salt Chococinno.” In the footage, she scoops up snow into a coffee mug from what appeared to have accumulated on a car and then adds salted caramel syrup, chocolate syrup and cold brew on top.
“OK, so we’ve had a ton of snow over the past few days. We decided to make a recipe,” she said in a voiceover. “Oh my gosh, it’s so good!”
But after she posted the video, some fans quickly took to her comment section to express concern about whether snow is safe to eat. One person wrote, “No no no.. snow is not made to ear.. u can get seriously sick,” while someone else said, “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.”
And well, Witherspoon is deciding to live by the motto: “You only live once.”
In a follow-up video , the Your Place or Mine actress said, “OK, so we’re kind of in a category of ‘You only live once’ and it snows maybe once a year here. I don’t know! Also, I want to say something: It was delicious. It was so good ( Laughs ).”
On Saturday, she continued to defend her frosty treat, adding in another clip, “OK, talking about the snow not being filtered, I didn’t grow up drinking filtered water. We drank out of the tap water. We actually put our mouths on the tap and then sometimes like in the summer, when it was hot, we drank out of the hose, like, we put our mouth on the hose, growing up.”
“Maybe that’s why I’m like this,” Witherspoon quipped. “So what you’re saying to me is I have to filter the snow before I eat it? I just can’t. Filtered snow. I don’t know how to do that.”

Reese's chococinno snow snack
When I was a kid I ate snow and drank water from the garden hose too, and so did all the kids back then, and I'm still kicking.
That is a kid's thing. Something I had long forgotten about.
When I was a kid and we were going to get snow, Mom would put a big metal bowl on the back porch to collect it. Then on the morning of our snow day we had hot chocolate with breakfast and then go out and play. After lunch we would have snow ice cream for dessert .
If the worst thing you ever eat in this world is snow you have been lucky. I doubt it would make any sort of medical list of the worst things to put in your body.
It was important (and still is) to not eat yellow snow.
People freak out about the dumbest things.
Will you, though? Really? How many people get “seriously sick” every year eating snow?
Frank Zappa says it all
Please identify or explain what the youtube is that you posted.
Sorry
Frank Zappa singing" Don't You Eat That Yellow Snow"
Thank you. A little more than half a century ago I drove from Toronto to Detroit with some friends to watch Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention perform live at the "Rock Pile" auditorium. All I can really remember is the song "It Can't Happen Here" and the calling out of "Suzy Creamcheese" a lot. The light show was the most fantastic I'd ever seen.
That sounds about the time frame I drove from upstate New York to Toronto to see The Who. The light show was a lightning storm in the distance. Great show.
