Why it worked

The video uses absurdity and over-the-top 'life hack' tropes to create a humorous, highly shareable reaction to a common minor inconvenience.

Summary

A person demonstrates a satirical life hack for eating chips without getting their hands dirty by washing the bag, cutting it open, and using tape on their fingers.

Structure

1Washing the chip bag
2Drying the bag
3Cutting the bag open
4Applying tape to fingers
5Eating a chip with taped fingers

Product placement

Doritos (a brand of tortilla chips) — merely APPEARS as the object being handled in the video. Removing the brand name would not change the video's content, as it is used as a generic prop for a life hack demonstration.

COULDN'T GET HER HANDS DIRTY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SO TO KEEP DIRT FROM BUILDING UP SHE STARTED WASHING THE SNACK AND DRIED IT RIGHT AFTERWARD THEN SHE POKED SEVERAL HOLES IN THE PACKAGE AND CUT OFF THE TRIANGULAR PART OF THE SNACK TO MAKE IT EASIER TO EAT BUT TO MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE HER HANDS STAYED CLEAN SHE PUT A PIECE OF TAPE ON HER INDEX FINGER AND THUMB AND THE RESULT WAS SIMPLY INCREDIBLE
