A short video showing a mom trying to “clean” M&M’s before giving them to her child has gone viral, but not for the reason she likely expected. In the clip, she can be seen washing the candy to remove its outer coating before serving it, seemingly trying to avoid artificial dyes.
However, it’s the child’s reaction and the internet’s response that quickly turned the moment into a talking point, with viewers questioning both the idea and the result.
“Just don’t buy them at all. Why would you do this?” wrote one user.
