Toddler Eating Salt And Vinegar Chips For First Time Represents All Of Us

Oct 13, 2020

As with many foods out there, salt and vinegar potato chips can be somewhat of an acquired taste. For one adorable toddler, this is very much the case as she tries to eat some extremely tangy chips for the first time. Her reaction goes from shocked to grossed out and then happily satisfied in a matter of seconds. Her mom, Laura Portwood-Stacer, enjoyed the reaction so much that she uploaded the clip on Twitter this October.

What began as Laura's simple home video has since made its way into the homes and hearts of thousands of YouTubers and more than a million on Twitter — and that number is bound to grow.

In the clip, the toddler does an all too familiar squint with her eyes as the vinegar hits her taste buds. The shock of it all, similar to what a lemon does, is something pretty much everyone can relate to. Soon after, her expression switches to one of thoughtfulness as the other flavors start to kick in.

One of the reasons the video clip went viral was probably because so many people can relate. Lots of people commented in agreement while some even said they still make that face when they eat salt and vinegar potato chips.

With so many sad news stories flooding the timeline, Laura thought that posting the video would be a good way to lighten the mood. Well, it did more than lighten the mood — it set it aflame as the video was viewed more than 1 million times on Twitter. With all of the comments as well as the retweets, there was nothing to be salty about on that timeline.

While some people's response to the video was a statement of their dislike for the flavor, the toddler didn't seem to share their sentiment. Although her face went through an array of emotions, some would even say disgust, in the end, she was pleased. When Laura asked her daughter if she liked those chips, the toddler gives her mom a big grin and happily answers, "yeah."
