Why it worked
The video likely worked because it presented a novel and intriguing business model for a common product (water), using a 'free' angle that appeals to consumers and offers a unique value proposition.
Summary
The speaker explains that FreeWater offers free natural spring water by utilizing the packaging as ad space. This model works because the revenue from advertising outpaces the cost of consumables like groceries.

- 4Stating the reason for 'free': ad revenue exceeds consumable costs
Product placement
FreeWater: ACTS - it is the product being discussed and shown, a beverage company that provides free water by selling ad space on its packaging. Removing it would change the entire video. Amazon: APPEARS - mentioned as a potential future free product, but not directly used or interacted with. Removing it would not change the video.
