Jimmy Fallon Mocks Meghan Markle's Pretzel Bag Moment on The Tonight Show.
Jimmy Fallon has joined a growing list of celebrities mocking Meghan Markle, making light of a moment from her Netflix show With Love, Meghan. The 50-year-old late-night host participated in a humorous "Trivia Night" segment on NBC’s The Tonight Show on Monday, where he and his sidekick, Steve Higgins, discussed various questions.
During the segment, Higgins asked Fallon, "What is the number one question that mystifies scientists?" Fallon responded, "Is there life on another planet?" However, Higgins' answer caught the audience off guard: "Why does Meghan Markle make her own pretzel bags?" The audience erupted with laughter, and Fallon quipped, "She takes it from one bag and puts it in another bag, and that confuses people."
The Controversial Pretzel Bag Moment
Fallon’s joke referenced a scene from Markle’s Netflix show, which began streaming on March 4. In this particular segment, the Duchess of Sussex transfers pre-packaged pretzels from a store-bought bag into a custom bag with a personal label, offering the snacks to visiting guests.
Fans quickly recognized the pretzels as peanut butter-flavored snacks from Trader Joe's, and some viewers found the act curious, leading to public discussions.
In the scene, Meghan says, "This, we’re just going to put into a different bag," before transferring the pretzels into her personalized container, despite knowing that her friend does not have a peanut allergy. She humorously adds that she labels the bag as containing peanuts for the sake of caution.
Public Reactions and Criticism of Meghan Markle’s Netflix Show
Meghan Markle’s show has sparked mixed reactions since its debut. While some find it entertaining, others criticize it for being inauthentic. Celebrities like Justine Bateman and Prue Leith have made critical remarks about Markle’s public persona, accusing her of turning victimhood into a "performance."

TV critics have also been critical, with some describing the show as 'gormless lifestyle filler' and others calling it 'insane' and 'narcissistic.' Despite this, the show has continued to air, and Meghan's popularity remains a hot topic of conversation.
