The video shows that sunlight coming through the suction puts attached to the outside of a window in her house caused smoking.
The text overlay reads, “Suction cups setting my house on fire was not on my 2025 Bingo card.”

The TikTokker posted a follow-up video and showed viewers that spray painting the suction cups will take care of the problem so the light won’t pass through them.
