A strong-willed little boy named Gabriel learns exactly why his mother advises him not to eat cocoa powder the hard way.
He spoons the substance into his mouth and with a look of immediate regret starts puffing small clouds of cocoa dust.
"I bake all of the time and he watched me make brownies with the cocoa days before the video was filmed," his mother, Stephanie, said. "In his mind it was going to be nothing less than delicious. I kept telling him to stop climbing on the counter and that the cocoa does not taste good."
The fiasco repeated itself for several days in a row until one morning he managed to get hold of the container. His mother figured him tasting it may put a stop to him attempting to take it out of the cabinet once and for all.
The kid grimaces, lesson clearly learned, before he spits out the powder.
"I knew it wouldn’t harm him because I ate a heaping tablespoon of it as a kid thinking it would taste like Ovaltine," she said. "After the video was filmed I washed his mouth out with water and gave him something to drink and he went on playing until his breakfast was ready."
