Why it worked

The video taps into the popular trend of "lunch packing" and "food hacks" by presenting a novel and potentially controversial method for cooking ramen. The creator's engagement with viewer suggestions and the suspense around whether the "ice method" will work creates a compelling narrative that encourages viewers to watch until the end for the results.

Summary

The creator tests a new method for cooking ramen in an electric lunchbox by adding ice and seasoning on top of raw ramen noodles. They also pack other lunch items for their children, including orange chicken and rice, and watermelon, and then place everything into lunch bags.

Transcript

Yesterday our ramen still wasn't fully cooked so you guys said to put the ramen on the bottom of the lunch eaze raw and then all of the ice on top with the seasoning and then 5 and a half hours it's gonna be cooked we're gonna find out today. I did keep it the same temperature and the same time and the same amount of ice. We used a cup and a half of ice and then we're gonna be cooking it for 6 and a half hours. I'm checking it in 5 and a half hours. That means that it will have been warming for one full hour. Yesterday it just wasn't enough. We still had crunchy pieces. So let's see if putting this ice on top actually cooks all of the ramen. I'm a little bit nervous that the bottom of the ramen is gonna get like crunchy and hard and stuck or will the ice melt in time so it does not. I'm excited to see. Maybe this will be the last day of ramen testing. But in the meantime, I packed my kids leftover orange chicken and rice. And yes, it's safe to pack. We've tested this before. I cut up the chicken and make sure the rice and the chicken are piping hot. I do preheat the thermoses for this. And by lunchtime, it's nice and warm and the kids love it. I'll be back soon with the results of that ramen. And I also showed you guys how much of the lunch my kids actually eat. If you stay to the end of those videos. I hope everyone has amazing.
