NYC influencer ridiculed after trying to bake cookies in sweltering subway station: 'Half-baked'
Briefly

In a viral Instagram clip, influencer Matt Peterson attempted to bake chocolate chip cookies on a subway platform in New York City, capitalizing on the city's sweltering summer temperatures. Despite NYC's heat not yet reaching triple digits, subway stations often exceed 100 degrees. Viewers expressed doubts about the feasibility of baking cookies in such conditions, worrying about the presence of rodents and other factors contaminating the dough. However, Peterson clarified he monitored the cookies throughout the day to prevent theft, ensuring they weren’t left unattended.
"It's almost 100 degrees in NYC so I'm going to see if it's possible to bake these chocolate chip cookies," Matt Peterson declared in the clip while toting a tray of dough balls.
"I found a good little hiding area," he declared to his 300,000 followers. "I'm going to leave them here. Come back tonight. See if they bake."
"Girl those are gonna get s-t on omg," exclaimed one naysayer, while another wrote, "They've touched the subway air they literally are inedible now."
"Pizza rat is changing his food of choice just this once," joked one quipster in reference to the city's iconic slice-scarfing rodent.
