[@joshiyonnahayes6016]

MsLuuna we dont talk like that 🤦🏽😂😂

[@gabbyandjasmine]

MsLuuna lmaooooooo

[@phonehome8500]

Actually some of us talk like that the old country grandmas say it cause both my grandparents say it like that

[@joshiyonnahayes6016]

Kelsay Webster yeah ik some not all most people from the country side in the south city people in the south don't💀

[@zomama6180]

I died at that💀

[@ScottVSpiroIII]

Today's grandmas are a lot more aware of other foods and cultures... Some of them are obviously readers and interested. Good for them!

[@Sydtrine]

Hi Southern Living! Mochi is not traditionally filled with ice cream. It's "traditionally" filled with Adzuki, sweetened red bean paste, if anything at all. Thanks!

[@jiwoo56]

Sydney Lusk Azuki

[@KettouRyuujin]

Exactly. There’s occasionally ice cream, but I think that’s an American thing.

[@carmelgold-fanning6215]

Was just about to comment this. The ice cream filling is 100% american made, It's nice and all but honestly did they even look this up before making the video? These are from Trader Joe's for goodness' sake.

[@candicehoneycutt4318]

Carmel Gold-Fanning Dairy products aren't traditionally used in a lot of Asian food. Adding ice cream is definitely an American thing

[@achanwahn]

I agree, mochi isn't necessarily filled with anything. Mochi is just the sticky, glutinous result of pounded Japonica rice. It can be served as plain, with savory or with sweet. Hope that helps to clarify a bit better.

[@KaoriMurakami_chibirock]

I'm glad that most of Southern Grandma seem to love mochi! As Sydney says, generally sweetened red bean paste is used for filling. We also have some alternatives with another ingredients like edamame bean paste, squash, ice cream and so on.

[@mochi793]

Kaori Murakami ICE CREAM IS BETTER

[@jessssssgames]

Kaori Murakami I just tried mochi for the first time today with a cream filling and some kind of paste. Ice cream filling with the mochi texture sounds like I'll be playing with it more than I'll be eating it but it sounds really good.

[@radiantplayer123]

Ik right.

[@Cococonutt]

Red bean is not popular t Americans, I think the fact that it was filled with ice cream is the only reason they liked it lol

[@emiko6922]

Lol i love the reactions but fav quote "is it made of potatos"

[@bfuimaono4775]

"Give me some Moocha" 😂

[@tobitsuki]

"moocha, moochee, mooka" Haven't y'all ever seen the letter "o" before? Girls, you're lovely and charming but come on. I know you know how to make the "oh" sound.

[@reybreneaux5331]

Bixby they’re making it complicated because it’s ethnic. Literally pronounced how it looks : MO-CHEE. Lmao.

[@SunKiJaykeHeeSungWon]

They’re southern women. As a southerner, it’s almost like we speak another language. We have different sounds and words for everything down here lmao.

[@mooncake4371]

lol I know right? It's literally pronounced how it's spelled!

[@PPikes]

Bixby it's their racism. They see a foreign word and instead of an easy pronunciation they act like it's some thing so different that the can't pronounce. when it's actually easy

[@sydnerella24]

PPP Or they just don’t know how to pronounce it? Chill dude.

[@joncastillian8389]

Im quebecois but have gone to the south recently and omg are their accents so quaint and adorable. They really do have some nice hospitality to them, I don’t know but it’s amazing.

[@alexandrawhitneyedwards312]

Jon Castilian, thank you, sugar.

[@melaniepercy]

"Yuuuuuummmmmy!!! Moki." Lmao I'm dying 😂😂 this is so cute

[@MiamiPush2theLimit]

The first time I tried Mochi I was so thrilled and delighted. The texture is so different than anything I’ve had before.

[@delilahmorm3889]

" yummmmmm -- yyyyy" "MOCKY"!!!! 😂😂😂😂😭😂 Is it a vegetable?? " killed me too

[@AbductionFromAbove]

Yuuuummeee! MOEKE!

[@milkbrend]

I love these grandmas so much

[@alexswanson3785]

The lady in blue was just satisfied with the colour lol awwww they were all so cute

[@kap79]

Oh my goodness that was delightfully wholesome. Glad they found some women with adventurous palates for these!

[@rpstgag]

"Am I going to be delighted?" 🤣

[@andiniwirawan]

Mochi is not necessarily filled by ice cream or filled by anything.. it is a mochi ice cream you served..

[@cayannap6752]

Well that was so realistic. Did you see your grandma? I know I did

[@ashleythomason1769]

Cayanna P 😂 just a few. If mine didn’t like then she would be laughing and would’ve spat it out.

[@sarahfitz2470]

"Is this a vegetable?" "No its a fruit" 😂😂😂

[@everythingjule4045]

“is it moshiii or moshiiii” lmao same

[@RoninMilli]

I can't... They're all too fuckin adorable 😂

[@suzieko7769]

I thought mochi was pretty common but I'm also Asian and from New York City so...

[@lujanlopez6167]

Suzie Ko lool same, I tought it was more popular (from NYC too)

[@badlandsghost]

Suzie Ko it's recently made it's way into the south in the last 4-5 years

[@blameitonablackstar]

Same but I'm also half Okinawan and from Hawaii lol

[@eurythmica8467]

I'm from a smaller town in the Midwest and honestly I've never had it or been to a restaurant that has it. I want to try it so badly!

[@nemo1210]

New York squad

[@RonLarhz]

Love the grandma at 2:20!!! So adorable.

[@sumeragichan]

To be honest, I'm not surprised. A lot of more common old southern snack foods and condiments ended up becoming popular in Japan after the 40's I think.... They had fun with them and combined them with stuff so it makes sense if the Japanese of that time liked Southern foods, Southern Grandmother's would like Japanese snack foods. XD

[@helloiampiano9437]

I loved when one of them said it felt creepy LMAO

[@an6350]

"is it a vegetable??" "it's a fruit" "that's wHaT i mEaNt"

[@an6350]

*IS IT MADE OUTTA A POTATA*

[@VarongTangkitphithakphon]

love all the grandma

[@vincentboy99]

I love when she said "before you say anything negative"

[@kchannel4299]

I want a southern grandma!!

[@Splendorsway]

Love them. Such classy ladies.

[@superhetoric]

southern grannies love their pastels

[@hannahmarie3918]

these grandmas are so cute

[@sunrisereconquista7048]

This is a cute video. The only thing which lets me down with all of the "_____ try Japanese foods!" is that most of the "Japanese food" in those videos are not really Japanese, for example "mochi" in Japan simply refers to plain pounded rice paste and usually eaten with red bean paste or sweet soy powder with brown sugar "mitsu" or syrup. Some can be dyed pink with sakura blossoms and eaten with a cherry leaf, others use yomogi (mugwort) plant so its green. Some mochi can be eaten grilled with soy sauce and seaweed too (isobemaki).....but not with ice cream and food coloring....

[@badlandsghost]

Japan Reconquista Francis hashimoto created it with her husband's help back in the 1980s but they didn't start bringing it to the US until 1993

[@aznmochibunny]

They're referring to traditional mochi, which officially has recorded history as being used in festivals in the Heinan Period of Japan (this period began in 794 and lasted until around 1185).

[@halil2399]

Like watching Big Little Lies. (season 60+)

[@lastgoodwomanonearth]

i love the grandma who was mostly interested in the color

[@feyrie]

This is adorable I love this concept omg !!!

[@lyssa7139]

0:19 SHE’S SO CUTE OMG

[@asmreverythin5902]

2:39 all she's talking about is her next nail polish Coulour lol great grandma goals

[@vitothepizzaguy7475]

half of these women would be able to ask for the manager and i love that

[@maya-eo9wb]

this makes me miss my grandma even though she lives round the corner haha

[@kyto5125]

I love seeing these reactions! Please give them delicious food to react!

[@alexmiller7505]

"This would make such a beautiful decoration." definitely southern grandma

[@あいなな-i4y]

I never did like mochi but I'm glad that they do. It's so cute the way they examine it "that is like my next nail polish"

[@laylas4300]

In Japan I have never seen anybody put ice cream inside. That is such an American thing. Its almost always eaten plain or with red bean paste.

[@piglette0928]

As a korean I could see how the texture of the mochi would be off putting especial they don’t know what to expect ☺️ I liked their overall response .. so typical I love the other grandma telling her friend give it a min before you say anything negative

[@aurav1376]

My hubby and I love mochi so much we named our kitty mochi 💗😸

[@Lavenderthorne]

This was adorable ❤️

[@saamahlouis-jean5413]

This was so cute! Time to go binge watch the rest of the videos...

[@sariahjameseusher8141]

“Is it a Vegetable Nah, it’s a fruit” BAHAH

[@ShadeSlayer1911]

I feel like they aren't too off from most grandmas in how they react to new things. My grandparents acted quite similar in these situations.

[@lesliel9975]

Will you be doing more Southern Grandma's/Grandparents react videos? These are great!

[@josielynn4434]

“Is it made out of potatoe?” 😂😂

[@xavierb6477]

“Is it a vegetable” “ no it’s a fruit” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Nereda715]

0:38 when the teacher gives you a surprise test

[@llisamichele]

I LOVE MOCHI .. VERY EASY TO MAKE AS WELL

[@MxALot-fp9yt]

OMFG 1:48. also, just wanted to point out, as I'm sure others have, that this is not tradition mochi, but is an american variety that's filled with ice cream. traditional mochi is by itself or with incorporated flavors. it's quite soft and very very stretchy when fresh (so much so that it's well known that it can be a choking hazard to children and older folks). mochi can be served plain, toasted with soy sauce, sweetened, etc. homecooked mochi is the best and there are now machines that can make it for you at home, which are sort of popular (tho expensive) in the countryside of japan.

[@jiminie]

"Is this japanese?" Had me dead

[@arerugipozu9738]

Asian grandmas would’ve already ate it and now would be making some from scratch now

[@sophiesings1098]

Haha! They love it! Its adorable! I love mochi ice cream. I get it a lot. I really want to try normal mochi though.

[@BroCapitalista]

Awwww só cute

[@chocoroons]

this was strangley adorable

[@siennagarza7600]

That one girl just loves the freaking color😂

[@Samcasm2wo]

Who else watching this video in 2026? Can you believe you can get mochi all around the US now?

[@mythical_unicorn_keira5589]

[@tiratoney4261]

Wait the black lady got me crying 🤣🤣🤣

[@DareSistersDevil]

I tried a chocolate one for the first time and it tasted like water and chocolate powder mixed together. Then I tried a strawberry one and it was so much more delicious

[@Imjustkayhaha]

These are one of my FAVORITE snacks. I crave them daily

[@vanillababy7871]

[@SleepyPrincess3002]

[@ilikeceral3]

Mochi isn’t just ice cream! It comes in lots of fillings!

[@kristinlampart6976]

[@delilahmorm3889]

[@zaiyahill3727]

I'm obsest with mochi

[@Lalalalyssa]

They remind me of the people from the show Hart of Dixie

[@faithyypoo8693]

I wish it were more diverse . You get one glimpse of a black southern grandma only once but that’s about it.

[@_idk_at_this_point_]

Not all of it is filled with ice cream, that is just Mochi Ice Cream.

[@sadcottonballdog]

Mochi is not traditionally filled with ice cream, it’s also made with paste, like red bean paste, as well as green tea paste, and taro paste, and much more. It’s not always ice cream.
