The Petty Reason Someone Allegedly Set Walmart Paper Towels On Fire - Mashed

TikTok user "thriftymuse" posted a video of a shocking scene at a local Walmart. A stack of Bounty-brand paper towels is shown engulfed in flames, followed by a worker racing to the scene with a fire extinguisher. Although the fire was quickly put out before any harm could come to employees, customers, or other products, there was apparent damage done.

The supposed reason for setting the fire was nonetheless absurd. The fire was apparently retaliation for the store being out of almond milk. Commentators were aghast, but not just at the actions of the firebug, but at "thriftymuse" as well.

"It was actually a little girl who was doing a TIKTOK trend." said one user. Another claimed. "A girl was trying to do a tiktok trend and started the fire when she lit some paper towels on fire." One bold TikToker blatantly asked, "Why did you lie about the reason for the fire?" Thriftymuse's response was that she was merely trying to bring humor to an otherwise stupid and dangerous stunt. The user has since disabled comments to the video.

According to the Daily Dot, there does appear to be a disturbing "trend" in which people set random items in Walmart on fire. Among several examples include one man who set pinatas on fire in a Salisbury, North Carolina, Walmart while in another North Carolina set household products on fire for seemingly no reason (via WRAL).
