Alicia Silverstone Eats Fruit Found on the Street in New Video—And Fans Are Totally Buggin’

Ugh, as if!
Alicia Silverstone should have totally paused before she took a bite from a random fruit she found on the street.
The 47-year-old recently went viral thanks to her Aug. 19 TikTok where she asked fans if they could identify a fruit she was eating while walking down the street in England.
“I’ve discovered something that I can’t figure out what it is, and I need your help,” the Clueless star said, holding up a small orange fruit. “I just bit into it because it was on the street, and we were discussing whether this was a tomato or not. It’s definitely not because look at these leaves. So what the heck is this?”
Silverstone took several bites from the plant which was growing in a bush next to the sidewalk, before noting, “I don’t think you’re supposed to eat this. It’s almost like a pepper? Does anyone know what this is?”
Naturally, the internet went wild, with some users in the comment section quickly identifying the plant in question as a Jerusalem cherry which produces toxic berries in the fall.
Even the commenters who hadn’t identified the plant were concerned by the actress’ antics.
“Girl! berries are either great or freaking poisonous!” one follower wrote, “Don't eat rando bush-things.”
Another commenter added, “Eating random stuff from bushes when you don't know what it is, is a level of non anxiety that I can only aspire to.”
Others were more focused on the fact that Silverstone reached through a metal fence to take the fruit off the bush.
“Even if it was a tomato, it’s on someone’s private front garden,” one person wrote, “You can’t just reach through their gate and pick their plants.”
Yet this isn’t the first time the longtime vegan has stirred the pot with her unusual eating habits. In 2012, she made headlines when she tried out baby bird feeding with her then-9-month-old son Bear, chewing up food in her mouth before transferring it into her son’s mouth.
"Yum! I fed Bear the mochi and a tiny bit of veggies from the soup…from my mouth to his,” she wrote on her blog at the time. “It's his favorite…and mine. He literally crawls across the room to attack my mouth if I'm eating."
