A South African mum had no idea what her daughter had been quietly working on until she stumbled upon a growing collection of handmade snack packets in their home. The video, filmed in the family's living room, shows the mother going through packet after packet, each one a paper recreation of a well-known brand. The caption on screen read:
"I just discovered that my daughter has a talent."
Rene, the young girl behind the creations, walked her mum through exactly how she made them. She started with a full sheet of paper, folded the sides in carefully, drew the brand logos and product details by hand, and outlined everything in black marker. She then stuffed each packet to give it a realistic, squishy feel. Her collection included Doritos, multiple Lays flavours such as spicy, barbecue, and lime, Takis, Jolly Ranchers, and even a Coca-Cola bottle.
A collection built one packet at a time
When her mum asked how long each one took, Rene said some took about a day or two, mostly because the tape kept going the wrong way and she had to start over. User @agatalonia made nine of them in a single day, using only the markers and pencils her mum had bought her.
