Why it worked
The video leverages a relatable 'is this normal?' consumer query, which encourages engagement from other owners of the same product, driving comments and community interaction.
Summary
The creator shows a squishy toy from a Teenie Nee Doh advent calendar that is shaped like a tongue and asks viewers if it is defective or if others received the same item. The video focuses on the specific design of the toy and the creator's confusion regarding its intended shape.

Product placement
Teenie Nee Doh (a brand of sensory squishy toys). It ACTS because the creator is demonstrating a specific item from the advent calendar, questioning its shape and functionality, and comparing it to community feedback. Removing it would change the video entirely as the video is a critique/query about this specific product.
