Why it worked

The video taps into a common point of contention between landlords and tenants regarding control over living conditions, specifically temperature, creating relatable conflict and a sense of rebellion.

Summary

A tenant installs a lockbox over their Honeywell thermostat, seemingly to prevent their landlord from controlling the temperature. The video captures the moment the tenant opens the lockbox with a tool, implying they are regaining control over their apartment's climate.

Product placement

Honeywell (acts - it is the thermostat being manipulated, its interface is operated, and a visible result comes from it, changing the temperature; removing it would change what happens in the video)
