Ratatouille jokes pile up under 'Bro added a secret ingredient'
The kitchen short drew about fourteen times the clips channel's usual first day, and it was one of three of its uploads to take off within two days.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 896,109 views a day, 14 times a normal first day on this channel (62,533).
Bro added a secret ingredient
What was the secret ingredient? The title won't say, and neither will the one-line description. The comment section is happy to fill the gap. Going by what viewers write, the cook had a four-legged helper, and its contribution to the meal was a mouse.
That sets the tone below the clip. Many viewers recast the moment as kitchen advice from a gym-going friend, with plenty of talk about extra protein. Others reach straight for Pixar, joking that this is the chef's assistant from Ratatouille. A few cat owners chime in with their own stories of gifts left in the house, and one popular thread wonders whether the dish got eaten anyway.
Videos that make your day better is a clips channel. Its about text says it re-edits other people's videos for light entertainment, so this short is its pick, not its own production. The pick worked. About 27 hours after it went up, the clip had passed 940,000 views, around fourteen times what a new upload there usually draws on its first day.
It was not the only one. "Opportunity comes once," posted the day before, also ran about ten times past the usual start. "The car has an attitude" climbed even faster, gathering nearly half a million views in its first nine hours.
