The video was shared on January 18 by user @preppymellx. It’s captioned, “Another slushy! Yes, this is clean snow! #fypp #preppy #snowday #snow.”

The five-second clip accompanied by music showed the TikToker opening a kitchen cabinet to get a cup. Then they proceeded to scoop snow outside with it. Once almost full of snow, the cup was back inside on a counter as the TikToker poured Pepsi in the cup of snow. They also added a spoon to top it off before the video cut off. This isn’t the creator’s only video showing a snow slushy either.

Snow can contain salt as well as chemicals used in the melting of ice off roadways, plus bacteria, excrement and urine, fur, and air pollutants, according to AccuWeather. The majority of people have a healthy enough immune system and wouldn’t consume quantities that could cause problems, but some may experience stomach issues or diarrhea as a result.

The viral video has been liked over 23,000 times with 600 comments. There are many opinions about the snow slushy from either side of the aisle.

Some aren’t sure about how sanitary the snow actually is. “I don’t think any snow is clean snow,” a user wrote.

“The snow ain’t clean,” someone else also added.

A TikToker had a question for the creator. “No hate, but how do you know the snow is not dirty?” they asked.

One person had their own suggestion for the TikToker. “Put some snow in a cup and let it melt,” they said. “You’ll see how dirty it is!” The creator replied, “Thanks! But one, it was from the top, and two, I’m not sick, so I’m OK!”

Another wondered “what if it has something inside,” in regards to the snow, to which the creator replied, “And also most of this snow was untouched, and I looked through some of it!”

Some commenters do the same thing as the TikTok creator though. “I do that a lot,” one person said. “Try Coke or Dr. Pepper.”

Another user seemed down with the idea as well. “Bruh free slushies,” they wrote.

Some defended the poster, and one user said, “Guys, who cares? I eat snow, leave her alone, and snow is clean sometimes.”

A TikTok user admitted they’d try it, “but it doesn’t snow” where they live.
