Nowadays, with the growing interest in sustainability, a lot of people are searching for creative methods to repurpose common items as more economical and environmentally friendly alternatives for DIY projects and home renovations. With this recent fascination with sustainable living practices, a video of a one-of-a-kind mailbox kept outside a residence in Queens, New York, has recently piqued the interest of social media users.
The video has gone viral, showing a clever granny unexpectedly using her old microwave as a mailbox. Yes, you read that right! The video was originally shared on TikTok, as per reports. Meanwhile, the same clip has gone viral on Instagram. “POV [point of view]: You’ve arrived in Queens and see your Grandma’s mailbox,” the overlay text on the video read.
In the video, we get a peek at the grandmother’s creative storage solution—she places the microwave on a porch and labels it with directions for the postal carrier. The word “mailbox” is written across the top of the microwave, and “press to open” is mentioned on another label located on the bottom right of its door.
