Why it worked
The video likely performed well due to the satisfying visual of squishy toys being destroyed, a common trend on platforms like TikTok. The use of cute, anthropomorphic designs on the squishies adds an element of surprise and mild 'shock value' when they are destroyed, creating a compelling visual narrative.
Summary
The video shows various squishy toys being tested to see if they can withstand being smashed. The first blue squishy and a pink dinosaur squishy are shown being smashed, with the dinosaur squishy appearing to break apart. A yellow and blue ball squishy is then shown being smashed, and it also appears to break apart.
