Now this is really fogged up!
Amy and Brad Hamer were on cloud nine after finding out they’d soon be welcoming a daughter — until the cloud nearly choked them to death, that is.
“This is your sign to NOT do a dry ice gender reveal inside your gorgeous home,” Amy, 31, a fashion influencer and expecting mom from the UK, warned in the closed captions of an eye-popping TikTok post.
The chaotic clip, which scarred up a staggering 5.2 million views, featured the ecstatic sweethearts sparking a smoke bomb before a room full of giddy loved ones.
Once ignited, the colorless vapor turns either pink, indicating that the couple is having a little girl, or blue, signaling that a baby boy is on the way.
But after the puff went pink for the happy Hamers, things quickly went downhill.
“Oh, s- -t! Oh no!” yelped partygoers as the rosy fumes expanded, flooding the room and leaving guests — and the pregnant guest of honor — coughing and gasping for air.
The hellish, hazy havoc comes as the latest flop in a series of fantastically horrific gender reveal fails.
A daddy-to-be in Linhares, Brazil came close to meeting his maker in May, when a billowing blue fireball briefly swallowed him up during a gender reveal gone wrong. Fortunately, the father was only singed by the explosion and suffered minor burns.
Separately, a woman named Lila was smacked in the face with a splatter of blue paint while sitting front row at a gender reveal jam. Footage of the splashy mess, which Lila graciously laughed off, garnered over 37.8 million virtual views.
But, of course, not all gender reveal goofs are considered laughing matters.
Anthony Spinelli, of New Hampshire, was charged for disorderly conduct after allegedly setting off 80 pounds of Tannerite — an explosive compound typically sold over the counter for firearms practice — mixed with blue chalk dust at an outdoor gender reveal in mid-2021.
The force from the blast was reportedly felt miles away by folks in Massachusetts.
Sara Taglieri, from Boston, described the ruckus as “God-awful,” saying, “It knocked pictures off our walls … I’m all up for silliness and whatnot, but that was extreme.”
Lithuanian influencer Inga Stumbriene and her husband, too, caught flak for revealing the gender of their fetus with a trio of airplanes that left blue smoke trails across the sky, in April 2024. Environment-conscious critics online called the stunt “pompous” and “wasteful.”
“This is the most selfish and wasteful way to do a gender reveal… I’m all for unique gender reveals but this is just plain pompous, arrogant and so over the top… Literally…” an outraged onlooker spat beneath visuals of the controversial reveal on Instagram.
“Thanks for killing the planet,” another commenter carped.
“Nice waste of the pilot’s time and just burning fossil fuels,” quipped a kidder.
The overt sarcasm was echoed by an equally perturbed jokester who wrote, “Bro is already leaving CO2 footprint before even getting out of the womb.”
