A lunchbox war has broken out at an Australian school after a mom demanded other parents stop packing sugary treats.
Now, Kate, the saga went viral after one of the parents leaked the conversation from their moms group chat on social media.
Now, it was a mother called Ashley, who goes by the handle @ashle jams, who shared screenshots from the private group chat.
Unsurprisingly, the exchange swiftly sparked debate, with the video racking up thousands of comments and over 12 million views across Instagram and TikTok.
I think we need to read at least the start of the text message exchange to provide some context to listeners.
So I'm going to play the part of Michelle, who is the mother who is not happy about the sugary treats.
Sophie, you're gonna be Charlotte, the mom who sent the Oreos- All right ... to school.

"We don't allow that kind of thing at home, so obviously she wanted them when she saw someone else eating them."
