How do you get a week's worth of groceries home if it's too far to just walk, but you don't have a car or public transport options?
You come up with a truly innovative way to attach grocery bags to yourself and take your electric scooter.
In a video that first went viral on TikTok and then migrated over to Twitter with an equally impressed audience, a couple films—with consent—the imaginative way one man managed to take more than 5 grocery bags and a watermelon home on an electric scooter.

People were really impressed by his ingenuity.
\u201c@blabla112345 This was amazing and I was fascinated the whole time. Good for that guy that he adapted to what he has and made it work for him. Awesome stuff.\u201d— Levandov (@Levandov) 1681121984
\u201c@blabla112345 Forget the guy who makes one trip with all the bags from the car to the house! This dude has genius level grocery bag game.\u201d— Levandov (@Levandov) 1681121984
Some folks talked about how they used to make similar situations work for them, or currently do.
\u201c@blabla112345 When I walk, I used a good travel backpack and fill it up individually like no grocery bags and it holds an unbelievable amount of stuff. All these bags holding 2 things..all that plastic. Wild.\u201d— Levandov (@Levandov) 1681121984
\u201c@blabla112345 For someone that doesn't drive either I tend to walk a cart or carry stuff I can't carry in my backpack. But that made me happy to see such ingenuity at work. \nBravo man. Watermelon as baby!!\u201d— Levandov (@Levandov) 1681121984
\u201c@blabla112345 @WalshJackMD I used my knapsack, but I did the same thing this morning. Got home faster than if I took my car - cut thru parking lots, bike paths, park walkways - effing thing will do 61km/h, but after 40km/h it gets pretty scary. It's fun too.\u201d— Levandov (@Levandov) 1681121984
\u201c@blabla112345 Back in my early 20's, I rode my bike to & from work. On my day off, I attached a wagon to the back of my bike n headed for the laundromat & finally grocery shopping.\nI bought my 1st car (VW Beetle) a few years later... but I kept that bike. \ud83d\ude0a\n#goodtimes\u201d— Levandov (@Levandov) 1681121984
When some people suggested crowdfunding for a car for the man, others pointed out maybe he doesn't want one.
\u201c@blabla112345 Do people not realize he probably doesnt want a car? He seems so happy and the jacket he got clearly means he does it a lot and its his genius way of getting groceries. He probably saves more money than all of the people that use their car to get groceries\u201d— Levandov (@Levandov) 1681121984
They did have another suggestion for him, though.
\u201c@blabla112345 One of these would be perfect for him lol\u201d— Levandov (@Levandov) 1681121984
People were anxious to see what he did with the watermelon.
\u201c@blabla112345 Watched until the end. The \ud83c\udf49 was tricky!\u201d— Levandov (@Levandov) 1681121984
\u201c@blabla112345 He put that melon in a baby carrier...THAT IS GENIUS!!!\u201d— Levandov (@Levandov) 1681121984
And, finally, it made people see their own problems in a new light.
\u201c@blabla112345 I will never complain about carrying in the grocery by myself again.\u201d— Levandov (@Levandov) 1681121984
Here's hoping that watermelon felt protected all the way home and he didn't have too many sharp corners to take.
