Jennifer Garner Keeps 8 Bags of This Snack in Her Purse

Need another reason to adore Jennifer Garner? We didn’t think so, but here it is anyway.

Garner, star of our favorite “Pretend Cooking Show,” just gave us another “pretend” series to become fans of, a little segment called “What’s In My Bag?” Here, she courageously shares with the world everything in her day bag—which every mom knows, can be an extremely vulnerable task.

“I’m a little bit nervous, but it feels appropriate to do a ‘what’s in my bag?’,” she begins as she sits on the floor with her backpack.

But as the TikTok goes on, you realize she’s discovering the contents of her bag at the same time we are. The whole video is pure, unscripted Jennifer, and it’s hilariously compelling.

Jennifer Garner’s Favorite Purse Snack 

Her black backpack is almost like a clown bag, holding way more miscellaneous contents than you’d think possible. There are several books she’s reading with her kids, a journal, a two-sided glasses case, an iPad, a pouch of pens (“pens are life,” she declares), and more.

But the highlight of the whole show-and-tell is how one snack keeps emerging from the depths of her backpack—to her complete surprise—over and over and over again: nuts. Garner discovers eight portions of nuts in total, from prepackaged pistachios to little zip-top bags with a handful of walnuts. She’s like a squirrel stashing up for winter.

We know from previous interviews that Garner loves relying on nuts to give her energy throughout the day, but now we know how much of a staple they really are in her life. “I’m so scared I’m not going to have any nuts,” she says, laughing.

Another snack was readily available to take on the dreaded midday sweet tooth: candy. “Gotta have your candy handy,” she said. We spotted Tony's Chocolonely and several packages, opened and unopened, of Smart Sweets in the mix. Of course, nuts alone won’t cut it when it comes to satisfying a sugar craving.

Her fans on TikTok love seeing her scattered snacking habits, commenting, “We have just learned Jennifer Garner is part squirrel and I love her for it,” and, “I have never seen a more relatable celebrity TikTok.”

So, if you’re one to stash away baggies of trail mix and airplane almonds for on-the-go emergencies, know that one celeb stands in solidarity. After all, squirrel snackers, winter is coming soon.
