Amy Hamer, a 30-year-old expectant mother from the UK, recently shared a TikTok video that quickly went viral.
She and her husband had planned a fun dry ice gender reveal at their home, eager to find out whether they were having a boy or a girl.
Initially, everything seemed perfect—the couple was thrilled to discover they were expecting a baby girl.
However, the situation quickly spiraled out of control when thick pink smoke flooded their living room.
The intensity of the smoke forced their guests to evacuate the house, turning what should have been a celebratory moment into a chaotic scene.
The Dangers of Indoor Dry Ice Reveals
In her TikTok video, Amy warned others about the risks of conducting dry ice gender reveals inside a house.
While the dramatic smoke effect can create a memorable moment, it can also become hazardous, as it did for Amy and her guests.
Dry ice reveals typically require large, open spaces to ensure proper ventilation.
Many products even specify that the reveal should take place either outdoors or in spacious areas indoors.
Despite disabling comments on her video, Amy’s clip quickly garnered over five million views, sparking a conversation about the potential dangers of such reveals.
Green Gender Reveal Cake Leaves Fans Stunned
In another quirky gender reveal mishap, Carys Hardin, a 26-year-old from Wales, went viral after her gender reveal cake turned out to be green instead of the expected pink or blue.
Carys and her husband had planned a sweet reveal, using a cake with colored layers to announce the gender of their third child.
But when they cut into the cake, the inside was green, leaving viewers confused.
Many joked that the couple was having a “Slytherin” baby, referencing the Harry Potter house, while others speculated that the couple was opting for a “Team Green” pregnancy, where the gender is kept a surprise until birth.
Clarifying the Cake’s Color
Carys quickly addressed the confusion in a follow-up TikTok video.
She explained that the green color was a baking mishap caused by a reaction between the blue and yellow food coloring used in the cake.
To set the record straight, she shared that she and her husband were, in fact, expecting a baby boy.
Despite the confusion, many viewers found humor in the situation, commenting on the rise of gender-neutral colors like green being associated with “surprise” pregnancies.
