A profile of a teenager identified as Anna Jones shared a video on June 14, stating she was carrying 200 tortillas while waiting for her flight at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
“All these people, and no one knows I have 200 H-E-B tortillas in my backpack,” wrote the Texan teen in the video caption.
“It was hard to fit them in the overhead bin, but in the end, it worked out,” she told USA TODAY in an interview.
The 17-year-old said she was returning to her home in Nashville, Tennessee, after visiting her father in Texas and touring the University of Texas campus in Austin.
The teenager seized the opportunity to buy tortillas from H-E-B, as there isn’t a store in her area.
“We take them home, freeze them, and use them until they’re gone,” she explained.
“They usually last about two months,” she added. Jones mentioned she lives with a family of six, and the tortillas run out quickly.
The teen said she wasn’t stopped by airport security agents despite the absurd quantity of tortillas.
