Oscar-winning actress Reese Witherspoon recently filmed a TikTok video of herself making a "Chococinno", which involved mixing snow, cold brew coffee, chocolate and salted caramel syrups. Following online criticism of her design, Reese explained in another video: "There are so many people on here saying snow is dirty, so we went and took snow from the backyard, and we microwaved it, and it's clear. Is this bad? Am I not supposed to eat snow?," reports Female First UK. In a follow-up video, Reese laughed off criticism of her frosty snack.

The Hollywood star said on TikTok: "OK, talking about the snow not being filtered. I didn't grow up drinking filtered water. "We drank out of the tap water. We 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." Reese, one of the best-paid actresses in the movie business, jokingly added: "Maybe that's why I'm like this. So what you're saying to me is, I must filter the snow before eating it? I just can't. Filtered snow. I don't know how to do that.”
