A young person recently went viral after she showed an unusual dedication to a well-liked Texas grocery chain and its tortillas.
Nashville resident Anna Jones recently boarded a flight from Austin to Tennessee with an unconventional cargo: She had over 200 flour tortillas from H-E-B along with her.
Jones recorded other people boarding the plane, then confessed her secret to the web in a video on June 14.
“All these people and nobody knows I actually have 200 H-E-B tortillas in my backpack,” Jones wrote on TikTok.
Fox News Digital reached out to Jones for more details.
Jones revealed to USA Today that hauling tortillas long-distance is something of a family tradition.
The last time she visited her dad in Texas, he bought as many as 300 tortillas for her to bring home, Jones said.
“We bring them home, and we will freeze them, and we just use them until they run out,” the teenager said.
“They normally last about two months.”
She also noted that Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents didn’t give her a tough time with her flatbread-filled backpack.
“I just went on through,” Jones told USA Today.
She added, “Nothing happened. It was pretty obvious that it was tortillas. That is sort of normal for them, I suppose.”
Some Texans on TikTok couldn’t resist poking fun at Jones’ video, which has been viewed greater than 668,000 times as of July 7.
One Lone Star State resident asked, “Are YOU the explanation why there’s never any left at the shop?!?”
“They higher be the butter ones,” one other said.
It seems that Jones isn’t the one H-E-B fan who’s gone to great lengths to travel with Texas tortillas.
“I flew with H-E-B tortillas and H-E-B goods from San Antonio to Amsterdam, then drove them to Belgium,” one person said.
“I flew with H-E-B tortillas from San Antonio to Italy,” one other chimed in.
“Tortillas [are] in my carry-on from San Antonio to Japan & the Philippines,” a 3rd user wrote.
H-E-B is a Texas-based supermarket chain with over 400 locations within the Lone Star State and Mexico.
What makes H-E-B tortillas so good?
The supermarket chain didn’t reply to Fox News Digital’s request for comment — leaving the ingredients behind the tortillas’ popularity a mystery.
