"OK, talking about the snow not being filtered, I didn’t grow up drinking filtered water," Witherspoon responded to the comment. "We drank out of the tap water. We actually put our mouths on the tap and then sometimes like in the summer, when it was hot, we drank out of the hose, like, we put our mouth on the hose, growing up."

"Maybe that’s why I’m like this," she continued. "So what you’re saying to me is I have to filter the snow before I eat it? I just can’t. Filtered snow. I don’t know how to do that."

Meanwhile, some users backed up Witherspoon's decision to use the snow. One user wrote, "Fallen snow can be very dirty from the air and wind but who cares. You only live once. I remember eating snow as a kid."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"OK, so we’re kind of in a category of ‘You only live once,’ and it snows maybe once a year here," Witherspoon responded. "I don’t know! Also, I want to say something: It was delicious. It was so good."
