A mother asked fellow parents to stop packing Oreos in their children’s lunchboxes because her daughter, who doesn’t eat sweets at home, was upset seeing other kids enjoy them. What started as a simple request quickly turned into a viral parenting debate over boundaries, food choices and whether parents are becoming too protective of their children from disappointment.

On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Nazirul Asrar dives into the online saga known now as 'Oreogate' and whether this was real in the first place, after some signs point to it being an advertisement for an AI platform.
