The video likely worked because it presented a simple, visually satisfying DIY hack that solves a common problem (making crushed ice at home). The use of a popular beverage in the final product also adds to its appeal.
Summary
The video demonstrates a life hack for making crushed ice. It shows ice being stored in a Ziploc bag, then crushed with a meat tenderizer. Finally, the crushed ice is poured into a glass and a can of Mountain Dew Baja Blast Zero Sugar is poured over it.
