TikToker Stunned After Trader Joe's Cashier Hints That She Should Wash Her Reusable Grocery Bags
That said, there are some items in the average home that we might not be clear about how to clean, how often to clean, or if we even need to clean certain items at all! For TikToker @kaylenhailey, the items in question were her reusable shopping bags.
The TikToker sat in her car, perplexed, and explained that she had just finished shopping at Trader Joe's, and after the cashier first complimented her on the reusable bags she was using, she then unexpectedly said that the bags were easy to wash, too.
The TikToker ranted:
"Sorry, what? They 'wash well'?"
"Are we washing grocery bags now?"
"Am I disgusting? It's never once crossed my mind to wash a grocery bag."
"Are you washing them? Is everyone washing them except for me?"

Fellow TikTokers were indignant and insistent that everyone should wash their reusable bags.

The experience left TikToker @kaylenhailey embarrassed, and she posted a second video of her looking ashamed and shy while throwing several of her reusable bags into the washer.

People who use reusable bags often sport either a canvas tote or a plastic-based tote, commonly made from recycled plastic bottles.
Canvas can be thrown in the wash with clothes or towels, but not dried, but plastic-based totes are a little more unclear about how they can be washed. Some will be fine in a wash cycle, though not dried, but there are certain kinds where it's better off to hand-wash them in the sink or shower or use Clorox wipes.
Though reusable shopping bags do come and go from the home, carry food products that might drop or spill, and occasionally touch surfaces that could be carrying other germs like checkout stations and passenger seat floors, it's understandable enough that a person might not think to clean these on a regular basis.
However, to guarantee the safety and preservation of their food and other products, it's always important to play this one safe, either with a run through the washer or with cleaning wipes.
The iPhone's Sinister-Looking Red Clock Is Going Viral—And It's Divided The Internet
To discourage users from being woken up in the middle of the night by their glaring screen, the screen is in dark mode, with a black screen and red font. Blue light decreases the brain's production of melatonin, which is vital for the brain's ability to sleep, which makes black and red reasonable choices, as they are very low in blue light and are less disruptive to a user's sleep.
However, shortly after the update, inquiries started to pop up online, especially on social media and Reddit, with users wondering about the ominous red clock that was facing them in the dark.
TikToker @bkharthun's complaint about the clock recently went viral, questioning why the red clock was even an option and what could be done to make it go away.
The TikToker vented:
"Why is that even an option? And why is it red?"
"It's the scariest thing ever, especially [since] it's always at night. It's always when you're going to bed, and it just happens to turn sideways, and then you see the scariest clock of all time."

For reference if you've never experienced the red clock firsthand, here's what it looks like:

Looking at the color scheme from a design perspective, the particular shade of red with black is commonly associated with horror movies and books, as well as villains in general, giving the color combination an ominous feeling.
The text on the screen also does not appear to be layered or raised against the background, so if a person has poorer eyesight or blurry vision from being tired, the red font will naturally look a little bit smudged against the black, which again, inspires thoughts of horror movies, old-school hacking, and general doom.
One Twitter (X) user also voiced her concern on the neighboring platform, inspiring lots of similarly creeped-out folks to speak up.
Fortunately for those who do not like the clock, they can disable or change it. The Standby Mode settings can be adjusted into colors and fonts that feel less ominous, and the orientation lock can be also be turned on, preventing the phone's orientation from ever flipping sideways, which activates the clock at night.
