TikTok works its magic, tracks down “Fry purse” girl
Sometimes, the Internet truly is the best place to be.
Last week, a woman left her purse at a Minneapolis bar. Another woman found the unattended bag and searched the purse to identify the owner.
However, all she found was a basket of french fries.
That’s right. A basket of french fries.
TikTok had a blast with that video, which currently has over 26 million views and over 4.5 million likes.
“There’s some drunk girl hella mad she left her fry purse,” commented @juki2122 under the original video.
Days after the initial video, we got a much-needed update.

TikTok’s algorithm managed to help reunite the purse with its owner.
Even after we saw the original owner of the “fry purse” respond to her friend (@jadascrimxx) about her purse being all over TikTok, we were able to see the origin story of how the fries got into the bag in the first place.
@jadascrimxx Hunny was indeed watched. By MILLIONS 💀#fastfashion #fastfood @prettyyrozayy

“This is the closure I needed,” said @dyinginstereo under @prettyyrozayy’s update video.
“This is why I love TikTok. the fry purse owner has been FOUND!!” commented @down2earthhealing under the same video.
In a few days, TikTok sent a video around the world just for the two people in the same city to meet and solve the Internet’s biggest mystery.
