Why it worked

This video likely worked due to its novelty and "hack" format, presenting a common household item (butter) in an unexpected and visually interesting way (as a candle). The element of surprise and the DIY aspect appeal to viewers looking for creative or unusual content.

Summary

The creator demonstrates how to make a butter candle by cutting a stick of butter in half, poking a hole in the center, inserting a straightened paperclip as a wick, and wrapping it in toilet paper. The paperclip keeps the butter wick upright, allowing it to burn like a candle.
