Leah Messer is one of the stars from MTV's 16 and Pregnant who gave birth to twin daughters Aliannah (Ali) Hope and Aleeah Grace back in 2009. She later joined the cast of Teen Mom 2 and had another daughter named Adalynn (Addie) Faith.
Now, the Teen Mom kids are all grown up — and many of them are on social media, like Leah's daughter, 14-year-old Ali who recently went viral on TikTok. She and 11-year-old Addie attempted to make Raising Cane's sauce, and nearly 4 million people became invested in the 7-minute video.
It's super entertaining to watch, and people can't get enough of it for various reasons, but mainly because of the girls' adorable personalities, and how much they remind them of Leah.
So, let's break down this 7:27 video of Ali and Addie making and reviewing their homemade Raising Cane's sauce.
In the most West Virginia accent you can imagine, Ali starts the video explaining, "Me and Addie are gonna try to make Cane sauce. We just seen the recipe, and we're gonna try it. We ended up having all this stuff. Surprisingly, we have our chicken tenders and french fries."
Ali then stops dead in her tracks as she realizes Addie has taken out all of the frozen food before the sauce is even ready. "Girl, you better put the frozen stuff up," she tells her.
Filling the TikTok audience in, Ali then says, "This child doesn't know what she's doing, so now she has to put up all the stuff in speed form."
In the most genuine big sister way, Ali says, "So you better speed your butt up, or we're not gonna have time to make this." As Addie playfully lets the audience know that Ali really doesn't know what she's doing! 😂
The face of a slightly annoyed little sis:
The video continues with Ali's commentary, "These are all of our amazing ingredients. Okay, well, Addie's cooking our food. We're going to put some mayonnaise in. [Addie] do the honors?"
And, as she is told, Addie goes hard on the mayo:
Ali is there to pop in with thoughts while she does so, "Hurry up. Don't put — okay... Keep going. Keep going. Okay, that's...CHILL. Okay, so we got our mayonnaise." However, after the mayonnaise is in, Ali realizes Addie has shed. "Girl, your hair is in the freaking....!!!" But the show must go on.
Once the unwanted Addie hair is removed, Ali adds in the ketchup but then Addie decides they need more, so she grabs the bottle.
And this is where we see Ali turn even more into Leah...
"Honey! Okay, then," she stops Addie as she fears too much ketchup has been added to the recipe.
The pair encounters more things as the video goes on, like a moment of excitement for finding their missing teaspoon.
And there is a moment where Addie roots for her sissy, telling her good job. That is, however, followed up with a sigh and a sassy "GIRL" statement after Ali spills it on the counter.
Some items are dropped and some more entertaining banter ensues.
They try to twist salt into a measuring spoon before realizing it is the wrong kind of salt.
So Addie finds what she calls "idolized" (iodized) salt from MORON (Morton).
And they meticulously finish up the recipe.
Before their final taste test of the sauce, Addie suggests they try to remove some of the black pepper, but Ali quickly vetos that idea due to it being logistically impossible.
Here is their final sauce paired with their oven-baked frozen french fries and chicken tenders:
Right away, the gals are in LOVE with the sauce.
They've never even tried the real Raising Cane's sauce before, but they are obsessed with this version they made!
And, I am happy to report that they cleaned up their mess and even wrapped the leftovers to save them in the fridge.
This is the kind of wholesome content we need more of on the internet.
