INSIGHT

  • Mall of America claims to use human body heat for winter warming but the effect is likely negligible.
  • The mall also relies on skylights and individual store heating so body heat alone doesn't explain its warmth.
ADVICE

Verify Bold 'World's Largest' Claims

  • Check primary sources before trusting surprising 'world's largest' claims like malls or records.
  • Use simple verification (e.g., Wikipedia or official site) to avoid betting large sums on trivia.
