An influencer’s mum has become an unlikely TikTok star after she was caught nervously giggling while scoffing her daughter’s sponsored sweets.
Valentina Ginori, 23, had been sent a box of spicy Pika Pica gummies to create content for her 126,000 followers.
But when she went to film, the treats had mysteriously vanished.

Suspicious, Valentina noticed the only light on in the house was coming from her mum’s bedroom at their home in Morelia in Mexico.
When she pushed the door open, she found empty sweet packets on the floor – and her mum MaryPaz, 50, watching TV and laughing guiltily.
Valentina filmed the hilarious moment, and the clip has since gone viral with more than four million views.
The influencer joked in her caption: “They sent me chilli gummies to film content and my mum ate them!”
Fans loved it – with one writing: “This video is better than the one you were going to make, hahaha.”
Another added: “You accidentally filmed the best commercial ever / now I want to try Pika Pica.”
Her mum – now affectionately nicknamed ‘Lady Gummies’ – admitted the sweets were “delicious” and was later sent a fresh box by the brand.
“At first she scolded me because she thought it could harm her image – but now she laughs about it,” Valentina told What’s The Jam.
“Everyone has welcomed her so warmly.”
Even Pika Pica themselves joined in the fun, sending a note that read: “Dear Lady Gummies, we appreciate that you liked our product and we want to share another pika-pica piece with you.”
