Would your kids be able to resist a handful of candy? How long do you think they’d be able to hold out before simply gobbling up a sweet treat? Well, the Fruit Snack Challenge aims to help parents answer that question.
This fun challenge has been taking over social media in recent times, with hilarious results!
The idea of the Fruit Snack Challenge is simple: a parent or guardian places some kind of sweet treat in front of their kid and then tells them to wait for a minute until they get back before eating any. The parent is then supposed to leave the room for just one minute, returning to see whether or not their little ones have given in to the temptation.
The challenge is designed to help parents test out their kids’ willpower and patience, as well as their ability to follow the rules.
Some lucky parents return to the room and see that their little ones have waited for them before eating the treats, while others get back and find that the tempting snacks have ‘magically disappeared’.
One Pennsylvania mom of twins decided to give the challenge a try and film it all for us to enjoy. The video begins with the mom scattering some fruit snacks on the table in front of her adorable little girls and then explaining the rules.
We can very clearly see from the expressions on the girls’ faces that they’re already being tempted by those tasty fruit snacks.
In fact, the twins, named Hayden and Hailey, don’t even wait until their mom has left the room before reaching out to grab a few.
She quickly stops them, reminding them of the rules and asking them to wait just one minute until she gets back. Then, she walks away. So will the twins manage to hold out for the full 60 seconds?
Of course they won’t!
The two girls watch carefully as their mom leaves the room. As soon as she’s gone, they immediately get to work in eating all those snacks.
At first, it looks like they’re going to share them equally, with both Hailey (left) and Hayden (right) taking one snack each. But then Hayden pushes her sister’s hand away and says “No!” before snatching up all the other sweet treats!
Poor little Hailey immediately starts to cry as she watches her sister eating every last fruit snack.
Meanwhile, Hayden simply chews them all up happily and then starts crawling over the table.
Moments later, the girls’ mom returns to see what’s going on, probably a little confused to hear one of the twins crying after only 30 seconds left alone.
Mom asks “What’s happening? Did you eat all those fruit snacks?” and little Hailey does her best to explain what happened while Hayden just carries on chewing, without a care in the world.
Even though we have to feel a little sad for Hailey, it’s such a funny video to watch.
Plus, the girls’ mom gave Hailey her own bag of snacks after the video ended to calm her down, so there was a happy ending for everyone. Enjoy the funny clip for yourself down below and maybe try out the Fruit Snack Challenge with your own little ones too!
