Reese Witherspoon set the internet ablaze after revealing her "snow salt Chococcino" — so much so that even Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager had something to say about it.

During a January 22 taping of the Today show, Hoda and Jenna spent some time talking about Reese going viral on TikTok for creating her "snow salt Chococcino." In the clip, she showed how she scooped some snow off her car into a mug, poured chocolate and caramel syrup onto it and then added cold brew. As social media blew up with health concerns over Reese eating freshly fallen snow, Hoda and Jenna were all in agreement with the actress making the sweet treat.

"This is a whole thing, and we don't understand it, but it's a thing," Hoda began. "So then the internet was mad because don't eat snow? Because it must fall through pollution? I don't know."

"We've been eating snow, and we would eat it like three days later, too," Jenna added.
"We tried to make sure it wasn't yellow. But if it was white, we were going for it!"

That wasn't all Hoda and Jenna had to say about Reese's latest concoction. As the two further explained, they make something very similar... and there's a family connection to it too.

"Here's what we did — and you, I think, introduced me to this concept," Hoda continued. "When the snow falls, we get cups, we fill it up. We take half-and-half or heavy cream, we add some sugar or sweetener, mix it up and it's called snow ice cream."

"Yes! That was what my mom did when it snowed once a year in Texas," Jenna concluded. "That was her recipe that we passed down!"

Upon hearing Hoda and Jenna were all for Reese making more "snow salt Chococcinos," fans went to social media to voice their agreement on the concept.

"I still eat freshly fallen snow I have done it since I was a kid," one person wrote on Instagram. "Snow cream is the best. Made it for my kids and the whole neighborhood every year," another agreed. "I'm with Reese!! Yum! ❤️," a different follower added.

Nonetheless, there were still some concerned about eating freshly fallen snow off the ground. "Snow is filthy please don’t do this," one person begged. "Disgusting... all the chemicals and exhaust fumes on [your] car 😂😂," another replied. "Nope," a different fan simply remarked.

For the record, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevent says to avoid eating snow if you're stranded somewhere because it can lower your body temperature, but doesn't mention any other snow eating guidelines. That being said, if you're going to eat it, clean snow is the only option. And only in moderation.
