Jimmy Fallon once introduced Gal Gadot to the decadent dessert option of a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, and, naturally, he had the forethought to film her reaction.
Though his late-night talk show has been on hiatus since the commencement of the writer’s strike, it’s been sharing “Fallon Flashbacks” on Instagram every day to look back on favorite moments from the beloved series.
One such clip featured Gadot, trying the American staple for the first time in her life, right there in 30 Rock.
“Gal Gadot is trying a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup for the first time, right now,” the Tonight Show host announced emphatically, looking down at the packaging lovingly. “We’re about to see your reaction. Do you want to open it?”
He handed it over, adding, “I feel like Willy Wonka! I’m just so excited right now.”
Gadot laughed as she began to unwrap the treat, surprised to find two sealed within. “Okay, I can share,” she said politely, passing one over to Fallon.
“Do you like peanut butter?” he asked, a little too late. But she confirmed that she did, in fact, though she’d never tried it with chocolate before.
“Here we go! I just can’t wait to see this,” he replied, making her nervous. But she swallowed the nerves down and took a bite, immediately nodding in approval.
“She loves it!” he cheered, throwing his fists up in the air in celebration.
Many were shocked to learn that she’d never had a Reese’s before, let alone never combined peanut butter and chocolate.
“How has she lived without one all of this time??” one commenter wanted to know.
“I understand she has never had them but never had chocolate and peanut butter?” another questioned.
But as one pointed out, Gadot isn’t from the United States. They can be hard to find abroad.
“I Love ‘oh there’s two!!’ ♥️❤️♥️,” someone else wrote, enamored with her reactions.
“I think she just got a Reese endorsement after that reaction,” someone else hypothesized.
Gadot has been mighty busy lately, strutting her stuff at the Barbie premiere, posing for Vogue Hong Kong, and speaking at a Netflix event in Brazil, but she’s probably got some time to spare for her new favorite candy, right?
