‘That’s actually really dangerous’: Pennsylvania woman walks into restaurant in pricey Lululemon Wunder Puff. Then it starts to ‘melt’
A woman from Pennsylvania was wearing her Lululemon Wunder Puff jacket out during the winter months. But while waiting for a burger at a restaurant, the Wunder Puff jacket appeared to “melt,” due to a small heater nearby.
@fabmeeme posted the video online, saying, “At least I didn’t burn the place down… but my @lululemon Wunder Puff vest is ruined.” The video’s garnered over 533,000 since she posted it on Dec. 30,
How did the Wunder Puff jacket melt?
Many people wondered how a pristine white jacket could melt inside. Well, @fabmeeme was standing next to a very large heater, which may have melted the jacket’s synthetic fibers after waiting in line for so long.
It appears as though the jacket’s outermost layer slowly melted and dissipated due to direct contact with said heat source. It burned four small imprints in the jacket near the bottom but didn’t ignite despite the close contact with the heater.
Many people said that synthetic fibers are “more flammable,” but that’s not accurate. Other sources suggest that synthetic fibers are more flame-resistant. Plus, they have a tendency to melt rather than burn for that reason.
Even with the heater, it seems that other people have had issues with their Lululemon items “melting” for less plausible reasons. Some commenters said that “friction” while skiing burned through their synthetic fibers and made them stick to their skin. Others said that pairs of aligns “melt” in the same way as @fabmeeme’s Wunder Puff jacket did. It’s worth noting that Lululemon clothes can be sensitive to normal wear and tear, with even basic washes ruining them. That’s why there are special washing instructions and ways to care for clothing items from the brand.

Viewers question the heater’s placement and safety
Other commenters questioned the unidentified restaurant’s decision to place a heater in a very public area with customers. “I don’t think a heater should be out in the open like that, especially in a public space? Seems so dangerous all it takes is one distracted person to really hurt themselves,” wrote one viewer.
Based on @fabmeeme’s later comments, it appears the long customer line “pushed” her up near the wall, which created an obvious fire hazard.
“The restaurant is TINY and super popular/crowded,” @fabmeeme later said. “When we got there the line was out the door.When I got inside I was followed by several other people and was backed against the wall for just a few seconds. I moved from the wall as soon as I could but just that quick it happened. I was trying to make space so more people could come inside and not stand out in the cold.”
@fabmemee clarified that she “loves” the restaurant and would never wish them ill will. She identified the place as “Jackson House,” an incredibly popular burger spot in Harrisburg, PA.
She also stated that she wasn’t even touching the heater in another comment, adding, “[I] didn’t… [touch it]. When I finally made it inside everyone behind me decided we were all gonna fit inside and I was kind of backed up into the wall before I could even realize it was there. I wasn’t even touching it… just very close.”
