These days, most airlines charge you for checked luggage, which is why Southwest Airlines really stands out. Their passengers get their first two checked bags for free and people have used that for some surprising things that definitely aren’t luggage.

The airline recently shared a TikTok video showing their five favorite things their customers have checked. These items include:

  • A giant stuffed giraffe
  • A few kayaks
  • A single strand of rope
  • A mini police car for kids and
  • A pool noodle

The video racked up a million views and many comments asking for more, including one user who writes, “This needs to be a series.” So Southwest listed and added a follow-up video, “Our favorite checked items, part two.” It has more than 4.4-million views already and reveals three more surprising items:

  • A single stick
  • A big head cutout
  • And a bag with the words “emotional luggage” embroidered on it
