You expect delays, maybe a porch pirate if the universe is feeling chaotic, but you don't expect the delivery itself to be the thing that destroys it. According to one Texas woman, that's exactly what happened, and of course, it involved her new TikTok-favorite Hydrojugs. TikTok creator Eileen (@eileenp06) went viral after posting the moment her long-awaited order met its unexpected fate.
