  • Maya Wertheimer's daughter Assia rejected a Krembo, breaking a family tradition.
  • Wertheimer jokingly called her daughter a "genetic failure" for not liking Krembos.
  • The actress shared her own childhood love for Krembos, eating five a day.
  • Assia's father, Assaf Zamir, once ate 33 Krembos in a contest.

Actress and host Maya Wertheimer attempted to pass on her family's deep affection for the popular Israeli chocolate-covered marshmallow treat, Krembo, to her five-year-old daughter, Assia. Wertheimer brought home a vanilla-flavored Krembo, anticipating a festive moment of shared enjoyment.

However, the experience took an unexpected turn when Assia tasted the treat and was repulsed. "I need to throw this in the trash," the child declared, leaving Wertheimer astonished. Wertheimer recounted her own childhood passion for Krembos, revealing she once ate five a day and that Krembo was her nickname in ninth grade. Her father, Assaf Zamir, once participated in a Krembo-eating contest, consuming 33 treats.

Wertheimer expressed disbelief at her daughter's reaction, exclaiming, "There's no way you're our daughter and you don't like Krembo." She jokingly called Assia a "genetic failure" due to her aversion to the treat, highlighting the unexpected break in family tradition.
