Practically everyone enjoys shopping at the supermarket in comfortable and casual attire. However, some take that comfort to the extreme by going in pajamas or even a towel. This was the case with a Cuban woman in the United States who has gone viral on social media for her peculiar supermarket look.
The star of this unusual image is a Cuban woman in the U.S. who shared a photo of her unique shopping attire on her Instagram profile, where she goes by the name Mabele Amelia Padilla Martínez. "While taking a bath, I remembered I didn't buy onions," wrote the Cuban woman when sharing the photo, sparking laughter among her followers who couldn't believe how she went shopping.
In reality, she didn't go to the supermarket wearing just a towel. Social media can often be deceiving, and the truth is that this Cuban woman from South Carolina was actually wearing clothes underneath the towel. In a video she posted on her Facebook profile, she explained that she had a dress on and put the towels on for the photo once inside the store.
"No, folks, I took the two towels with me. I wasn't crazy enough to go to the store in just a towel. I put it on in the middle of the market. Everyone was looking at me like I was crazy and asking if it was for Instagram. Everyone was laughing, in English, of course. And that's how I took the photo. It looks like I'm not wearing anything underneath. People were shocked and laughing, thinking I had nothing on," she explained. She repeated this experiment to record people's reactions.
Coinciding with this Cuban woman's prank, another photo of a woman in a towel at a supermarket is also going viral on social media. The image was posted by un_martitodurako8_live_oficial on Instagram, but it is unknown whether it is also Mabele or not.
