Why it worked

The video likely worked by tapping into the shared disappointment of Chinese football fans and then pivoting to a relatable "retail therapy" moment with the milk tea and blind box, creating a sense of shared experience and lightheartedness.

Summary

The creator discusses that China is not in the World Cup and then proceeds to drink Chinese milk tea. She mentions that buying two drinks allows for a chance to get a World Cup national team fridge magnet blind box, which she received, leading to her wallet being "hurt" but her stomach being happy.

1China not in World Cup

3World Cup blind box promotion
4Receiving a blind box
5Happy stomach, hurt wallet

Product placement

HeyTea: ACTS - a brand of milk tea that the creator drinks. Removing it would change what happens in the video. World Cup: APPEARS - a theme for the blind box. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
