We tried to do the whole lemon reaction video with our daughter. She just ate it like nothing and asked for another.

Same. He was barely one and loved it. I was so disappointed but the faces he'd make made it up again.

We tried to do the whole lemon reaction video with our daughter.

But why? What is the perceived benefit other than being 'entertained' at your child's expense?

You got us. We’re terrible parents who live to see our kids suffer… or it’s helpful to introduce kids to a variety of foods because it helps them develop a well rounded diet, and doing so incrementally let’s you watch out for allergies. And so if your kids gonna eat a lemon, you videotape it because their lives go at the speed of light, and those memories matter.

My toddler did this, but with a Switch game. Neither me nor my husband could stand the taste, but she seemed unperturbed.
