the great kinder egg mystery

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmk5QB4JE-RT3ig4kvtVYxg

more than a million subscribers, each video averaging anywhere from 9 million to the hundreds of millions

2.4 billion views in total

and what are the videos about?

FUCKING

KINDER

EGGS

how the fuck?????

not to mention literally all of the affiliates get just about the same massive amount of views

apparently there is a huge cult following

look in the discussion area

a massive amount of other kinder egg channels

why the fuck?

how is this such a popular thing, it's a marketing gimmick that advertises shit while selling disfigured plastic toys with a coating of cheap, plasticy chocolate.

This is some of the stuff people are in to. It's almost like collecting stamps.

No because there's no real "hook" to watch some guy talking about and showing off stamps. Surprise eggs on the other hand have the appeal of not knowing whats inside which is why they are popular, kinda like unboxing vids.

i remember thinking about this and articulating my thoughts like a drunken three year old might which included drug smuggling, stupid kids choking on shit, and including inorganic space-filler to add weight to the product ala sand in bread
