There’s always the chance that kids will bring weird and wonderful things with them to school. But by bringing in what appeared to be a strawberry daiquiri, a New Orleans woman’s son took things to another level.
In the viral clip, TikToker Sunny Veal (@sunny_kodax) tells viewers that she got a call from the school, during which the teacher said that her son was walking around saying he was drinking a strawberry daiquiris, which is a type of cocktail.
The TikToker then shows viewers a frozen pouch and points to the label that reads, “strawberry daiquiris.”
“He brought this pouch to school,” she says. “Teacher says, ‘Show me the pouch.” It f—— says ‘Margaritaville’ on it.'” As well as being a drinks brand, Margaritaville is a sprawling business empire that is also known for its restaurants and cruise ships.
“Ya’ll, why the lady thought he was bringing freeze-dried alcohol to school in a packet?” she adds. “This is just a drink packet.”
She then explains that she had to send a picture of the whole box to confirm it was non-alcoholic.
Veal then takes the opportunity to discuss the product—a multipack of non-alcoholic drink sachets—at length, noting how its sugar-free, comes in four flavors, and has even bought two boxes herself. She then encourages viewers to click below to purchase the product.
The clip has garnered a huge 29 million views.
What Did Commenters Think?
Some commenters were on the teacher’s side, with one writing that “a teacher has every right to question that,” especially because “Margaritaville does alcohol drinks also.”
“I would’ve called you too!” a second added. “I’m still concerned.” Meanwhile, a third posited, “I think she knew it wasn’t alcohol but she’s a mandated reporter and needed you to confirm for sure.”
Others were more intrigued by the idea of frozen alcohol. A fourth asked, “How tf you freeze dry alcohol?” A fifth added: “Okay, but why is freeze dried alcohol packets not a thing?” And a sixth chimed in “Freeze dried alcohol is insane alcohol don’t even freeze.”
Does Alcohol Freeze?
As reported by HowStuffWorks, it is technically possible to freeze alcohol. But it doesn’t freeze in the same way as other liquids.
The temperature in which alcohol freezes depends on something called the spirit’s proof, which is essentially the concentration of the drink. This is usually double the alcohol’s percentage.
So, for example, if a wine’s concentration level is 12%, this makes it 24 proof. A general rule is that the higher the proof, the lower the freezing point, meaning that alcohols with higher proofs are more difficult to freeze.
Is The Video An Ad?
Several commenters also questioned whether the video was actually an ad. “Nobody noticing this is an ad is frying me,” another wrote. “Can’t tell if this is a storytime or an ad,” an eighth said. While a ninth asked, “All that was an ad?”
Veal herself confirmed it was an ad several times in her replies to commenters accusing her of running an undisclosed ad. It’s also worth noting that the TikTok includes a label that reads, “Commission paid.” This confirms that the video is in fact an advertisement—but honestly, the second of half of the video already made that pretty clear.
