Meghan Markle has a pretzel hack so twisted that persons are having a tough time wrapping their heads round it — together with Jimmy Fallon.
On Wednesday evening’s episode of “The Tonight Show,” host Fallon and the present’s announcer Steve Higgins took a while to brazenly mock one of many Duchess of Sussex’s way of life suggestions that has turn out to be a joke on social media.
In Episode 1 of the Netflix sequence “With Love, Meghan,” the duchess could be seen making a welcome basket for a home visitor. The “Suits” alum decides so as to add some late-night munchies to the basket, which features a bag of home made popcorn and one other bag of store-bought pretzel nuggets which have peanut butter inside. Though it made sense for the duchess to place the home made popcorn in a transparent bag, since she popped it at residence, it felt extremely asinine that she additionally decides to switch the peanut butter pretzel nuggets from their clearly labeled bag into one other clear bag with a handwritten label that reads “peanut butter” as a result of, because the duchess says within the present, “you always want to be conscious if someone has a nut allergy.”
The foolish transfer has been trashed on X, previously Twitter, for weeks.
“I’m so glad Meghan Markle has a new show on Netflix where I can watch her take pretzels out of a labeled bag and put them into a new bag…then label it. The people’s Martha Stewart!” one X person joked.
“In Meghan Markle’s Netflix cookery series, she teaches us mere mortals how to transfer pretzels from one bag into another. Several sources say both Mary Berry and Prue Leith have resigned from their own shows for not thinking of this genius method first,” one other X person cracked.
Properly, it appears on Wednesday evening it was Fallon and Higgins’ flip to get in on the pretzel joke — and so they devoured it up.
Throughout a trivia sport on the high of the present, Higgins requested Fallon a sequence of popular culture questions and one in every of them had been: “What is the No. 1 question that mystifies scientists?”
“Is there life on another planet?” Fallon requested in response.
“Oh, no,” Higgins mentioned earlier than studying the reply on his card. “[It’s] why does Meghan Markle make her own pretzel bags?”
“That’s interesting,” Fallon mentioned jokingly. “She takes them from one bag and puts them in another bag and it confuses people.”
The pretzel fiasco hasn’t been the one bizarre second featured on the duchess’ way of life sequence. Meghan additionally obtained a bit salty with comic Mindy Kaling in Episode 2 for referring to her as “Meghan Markle” somewhat than “Meghan Sussex” — as if an American would naturally perceive the difficult intricacies of the British monarchy’s title system.
“It’s so funny too, that you keep saying ‘Meghan Markle.’ You know I’m Sussex now,” Meghan firmly informed Kaling throughout Episode 2.
It’s unclear how Kaling really responded to Meghan within the second as a result of the present simply plows alongside to supply Meghan’s reasoning behind utilizing her title as a final identify.
“You have kids and you go, ‘No, I share my name with my children.’ And that feels so — I didn’t know how meaningful it would be to me. But it just means so much to go, ’This is our family name, our little family name,’” she mentioned.
Clearly not figuring out how to answer this, Kaling saved her response easy and supportive.
“Well, now I know. And I love it,” Kaling mentioned.
