HOUSTON – A viral post on social media has convinced hundreds of thousands of people that it was so hot in Texas a Houston woman was able to bake a loaf of bread in her mailbox. But, did she really?
The short answer is no. It’s also a great reminder that everything on the internet is not true — no matter how convincing it might appear.
KTRK met up with Roberta Wright, the woman who went viral for the post. She explained that what was supposed to be a lesson on using your imagination duped almost everyone.
“It’s the storytelling of your imagination,” Wright told KTRK. “Could it get hot enough? Could the yeast rise and everything like that?”
