Footage of toddler raiding snack cupboard becomes viral sensation

We've all tempted to nip to the snack cupboard when the hunger pangs, but one toddler has found her trip turned into a viral sensation. A clip of little Winter Atherton's trip has been viewed 1.7 million times on TikTok.

Mum Rachel Thompson, who lives with her daughter and partner Lewis Atherton, captured the moment the one-year-old walked out of the kitchen with multiple bags of crisps and chocolate. Such was Winter's attempt to raid to cupboard, the youngster even had a bag of crisps hanging from her mouth.

The video has now amassed over 152,000 likes and more than 1,300 comments since it was uploaded to TikTok last week, reports StokeonTrentLive. Mum Rachel, 22, said: "We were laughing at her because she always goes into the snack cupboard. I got my camera out because she was coming in from the kitchen and I could hear rustling.

"Her hands were that full, she dropped the chocolate bar on the floor in front of me and I couldn’t stop laughing. I picked it up and gave it back to her back and she took it off me like it had never happened. As soon as she comes home from nursery she raids the snack cupboard, bringing anything she could find to us."

She added: "My sister-in-law was around and was teasing me saying 'It's alright, you’re not getting famous yet'. I went to sleep and when I woke up it just kept going, my phone was just going off. It literally just blew up overnight. I was just shocked and gobsmacked. I didn’t believe it at all."
