Why it worked

The video uses a 'curiosity gap' hook and a bizarre, visually satisfying process that keeps viewers watching to see the final result of the 'hack'.

Summary

The creator demonstrates a 'life hack' where they mix sand, salt, and water, freeze it, and then use a wet towel to filter the mixture. The video is a satirical take on life hacks, using the salt as a prop for the experiment.

Product placement

Morton Salt: appears as a container of salt, used to demonstrate a chemical/physical reaction with sand and water. It ACTS as it is operated to pour salt into the glass. Removing it would change the video as it is the key ingredient for the hack. Tommy Hilfiger: appears as a logo on the creator's shirt. It merely APPEARS. Removing it would not change the video.

Never touching sand after learning this 🤯

Transcript

I can't believe I didn't know this about sand. Okay, now that I have my sand, I'm just going to put some salt over the top. I'm going to fill the cup up with some water and mix it all up. All right, now I'm going to stick it in the freezer for a few hours. It's time to take it out. Let's see what we got. Now, be sure to check the temperature. All right, I'm going to take a towel, run it underneath the faucet and open it up. All right, now take the towel, stick it over the glass. Okay, this is the most important part. Do you see that?
