In the video, two mugs were repurposed to gather fresh snow from a car. Witherspoon then detailed her process of combining the snow with salted caramel, chocolate syrups, and cold brew to create what she dubbed a "Chococinno."
Despite Witherspoon expressing delight in the flavor, not everyone was on board with the idea. Concerns about the safety of consuming snow arose in the comments section.
One commenter cautioned, "Snow is not meant for eating; you can get seriously sick." Another user questioned the safety by suggesting, "Can you put snow in a clear cup and let it melt? I just want to see if it’s safe to eat first."
Responding to the concerns, Witherspoon posted a follow-up video collecting snow from her backyard, melting it in the microwave, and revealing clear water. She humorously pondered, "Is this bad? Am I not supposed to eat snow?"
Undeterred, Witherspoon addressed the criticism in two additional videos, emphasizing the rarity of snow in her location. "We're kind of in the category of, like, you only live once," she explained. "It snows maybe once a year here. Also, I want to say something: it was delicious. It was so good."
In another video, she lightheartedly reflected on her childhood, mentioning drinking tap water and even using a hose during the summer. With a touch of humor, Witherspoon concluded, "Maybe that's why I'm like this."
