In the video, Garner rushes to take a Zoom meeting while her kids ask for snacks. She presents one scenario: cut up fruits and veggies to make a green smoothie, which prompts a loud, frenzied sound that distracts from the meeting, or, pre-prepared crackers and applesauce in convenient packaging from Once Upon a Farm, Garner’s new healthier snacking brand of organic, no-sugar added kids and baby food. Now, off course the applause is presented as the better option, it’s her brand! But nevertheless, the promo video does reflect much of the mood in many households across the country, with parents having to manage hungry, screaming kids at all hours of the day, while also trying to work full-time. Garner captioned the Instagram video, “Whatever Back-to-School means for you this year—it’s here! 🎉 🙈🙃 If you’ve been hired to teach Reading, Writing and ’Rithmatic 😬—let us make your job as Snack Lady a whole lot easier— with homemade tasting deliciousness and without added sugar. We play well with others (hello, @pipsnacks & @partakefoods 🤗) or we’re happy on our own. If my house is any indication, you are busy, Mamas!—and we are here to help.” Hey, maybe it’s worth trying if it actually saves a few minutes off of your snack routine? Or maybe just throw some Goldfish onto a plate and call it a day?
