Dondurma

Why it worked

The video leverages the visual novelty of extremely stretchy ice cream and provides a concise, educational explanation for its unique properties, tapping into curiosity about food preparation and cultural specialties.

Summary

This video explains why Turkish ice cream, known as Dondurma, is so stretchy and doesn't melt easily. It highlights that the unique texture comes from using goat's milk and a special orchid powder called Salep, rather than regular cow's milk.
