Colby Martel turns compliments into candy clues

His street-trivia Short passed a million views as viewers supplied their own answers to a deceptively simple S-candy challenge.

Name the Top Candies that Start with "S"!🍫

"I don't eat candy often," one participant tells Colby Martel, just as a candy quiz starts demanding more than the obvious answers.

Martel has asked two men to fill a board with candy brands beginning with S. Skittles and Snickers come quickly. After that, the host's microphone becomes a clue dispenser: a European country points toward Swedish Fish, while something in the sky helps unlock Starburst.

Then come the compliments. What might someone call you at school? That leads to Smarties. Another flattering clue gets them to Sweet Tarts. Knowing the candy aisle helps, but so does working out how Martel has broken each name into pieces.

The Short drew roughly 1.1 million views in ten hours, an unusually quick start for his channel. Martel's guessing games often revolve around strangers' names; here, familiar wrappers provide the vocabulary instead.

Viewers are playing along in the comments, naming Smarties as the answer they were shouting at the screen and offering alternatives such as Skor and Scandinavian Swimmers. Others pick up on the participant's disclaimer about not eating much candy, then his contribution to the harder answers. The modest introduction becomes its own small joke.
