Gas Station Mirror Mystery Goes Viral on TikTok—and It Wasn't a Two-Way Mirror

A viral TikTok clip claimed a gas station bathroom had a two-way mirror, prompting online speculation. Follow-up inspection showed the mirrors were standard, mounted with a tiled wall behind them, not a two-way pane. The piece also outlines simple tests people use to distinguish two-way mirrors, such as the fingernail gap test and flashlight test, while noting these methods aren’t foolproof and that the setup appeared suspicious to some viewers regardless of the outcome.
