Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

0:30Cranberry Sprite earns a middling rating before Daym moves on to the other drinks.
1:55The dirty Coke-style drink gets his approval, followed by a tasting of the Santa Slush Float.
5:00Crispy tater tots prompt Daym to praise Sonic's texture and standing among fast-food tots.
6:29He opens the burger and examines its melted cheese, bun, sauce and bacon.
7:56Multiple burger bites highlight the cheese pull and lead to a four-out-of-five verdict.

Does the cheese make the burger? Daym Drops opens Sonic's Smoked Gouda Double Smasher, checks the bacon, sauce and melted cheese, then takes the bites that earn it four out of five. His verdict is measured: a decent burger, not Sonic's greatest.

"Smoked Gouda & Bacon SONIC Smasher " was the week's most-watched new upload, reaching about 25,000 views. But the drive-thru order gives him plenty to consider before the burger arrives: Cranberry Sprite, a dirty Coke-style drink and a Santa Slush Float. The Coke gets a straightforward approval; the crispy tater tots inspire his strongest declaration about Sonic's place in the fast-food side-dish business.

Viewers have their own side orders of commentary. Some distinguish tots from hash browns, others take up Coke versus Pepsi, and one describes buying the same meal after work before discovering Daym's review at home.

The other tastings stretched from "Popeye's Drums vs Flats | Which is BETTER?" to his first experience of Mission BBQ's smoked meatloaf. His newest upload, "Cracker Barrel Country Fried Turkey or KFC Country Fried Steak??", has the most daily viewing momentum right now, with the description leaving him torn between the two dishes.

Subscribers were unchanged, and daily channel viewing is running below its usual level. Nearby food channels Over The Fire Cooking by Derek Wolf and Feelgoodfoodie each drew substantial weekly audiences. For Daym, the newest conversation is less about burgers than which country-fried plate deserves the fork.
