What happens when a routine mother-son cooking session takes an unexpected and hilarious turn? In an Instagram video that has now gone viral, we see a simple cooking task quickly turning into a comedy of errors. It all begins with the mother asking her son to add ginger garlic paste to the dish, but what unfolds next will make you ROFL.

The video begins with the mother calmly saying, “Tharush, add 1 spoon ginger garlic paste to it.” Her son, fully focused on the task, responds with a confident, “Got it,” before walking away for a moment. He returns not with the ginger-garlic paste, but with a spoon, fresh ginger, garlic pods — and, wait for it — toothpaste! With all seriousness, he proceeds to add each ingredient to the pot. First, the spoon, then ginger, followed by garlic and, finally, he squirts toothpaste into the pot, all while chanting, “1 spoon, ginger, garlic, paste,” like a cooking pro.
As the mother continues to cook in another part of the kitchen, her back facing the camera, she doesn't realise what's happening. But the moment she turns around, she's shocked. “Stop!” she screams, snatching the toothpaste from the son's hands. “Use your brain!” she adds and points at the jar of ginger-garlic paste kept next to the burner.
The text overlay in the video jokingly read, “My proud Gen Alpha's ‘a spoon ginger garlic paste.'”
The caption stated, “I wish I used ‘a spoon of G&G paste' in the sentence.”

The video, which has already garnered over 10.2 million views, has sparked a flurry of reactions in the comments.
A user wrote, “Try telling him, ‘a spoon of ginger garlic paste.'”
Another couldn't believe the hilarious mistake, saying, “I really hope this is a joke cause if that's real then that next generation is just messed up.” To this, the video's creator responded, “Obviously it's a joke, how can he be ready with all the items.”
The video even caught the attention of a person who referenced an iconic Colgate ad slogan, joking, “Maybe the toothpaste was for the ‘namak' (salt) because ‘kya aapke toothpaste mein namak hai' (does your toothpaste have salt) just got a whole new meaning.”
Some users alluded to the fact that Gen Alpha kids are smart and not dumb at all.
“Alpha kids know everything, they do things to purposely tease their mother,” a comment read.
Another added, “Good content for a video, but I am a gen alpha mom, they are way smarter.”
So, while the ginger-garlic paste may not have made it into the dish as planned, the comedy that unfolded in just a few seconds has certainly left an impact on users.
