Why it worked

The video likely performed well due to its "life hack" format, which is popular on platforms like TikTok. The unexpected uses of common household items and products, such as toothpaste for cleaning drains and Nivea cream for lubricating locks, create a sense of novelty and curiosity, encouraging viewers to watch and share.

Summary

The video demonstrates several unconventional life hacks. It begins with applying toothpaste to a sink drain, then shows modifying a remote control with batteries and a razor blade, and lubricating a door lock with Nivea cream. Finally, it shows how to use rubber bands to adjust glasses.
