A New York City resident named Aiyanna recently became a viral sensation after sprinting into a Trader Joe’s just 5 minutes before closing time. Her mission was simple: She needed to track down the retailer’s latest freezer aisle obsession, the Mango Sticky Rice. Her frantic search racked up 18.4 million views on her TikTok video, with many amused by her chaotic mission.
The video shows Aiyanna rushing into the store, as she announces, “Trader Joe’s closes in 5 minutes. I need the mango sticky rice. I don’t need a cart.” Then, out of breath, she pulls up to a clearly amused crew member and asks them, “Do you have the mango sticky rice?” She asks him for his review of the product. When he tells her, “It’s alright,” she responds, “Don’t say that. I thought I wasn’t gonna like it at all.”
