Where The Nestle Crunch Meme Originated From 🍫😳
A short that promises one simple thing, the source of a meme, went past a million views and kept going. Twenty-eight hours after HeroTimes posted "Where The Nestle Crunch Meme Originated From 🍫😳," it had passed two million. A new short on the channel usually opens with around 30,000 views on its first day. This one ran about fifty times that.
The premise is all in the title. According to the description, the Nestlé Crunch meme that has traveled the internet goes back to one particular commercial, and seeing the original changes how the joke looks. HeroTimes is a clips channel, so the ad belongs to the candy maker. What the channel adds is the trip back to the source.
The comments are where the fun is. On a usual short here, only a couple of people say anything on the first day. This time hundreds did, and a striking number of them are talking about something they cannot find. The meme version, as many of them describe it, ends with a crack and a scream. Viewers keep writing that they can still hear it, or that they are still waiting for it. A few remember seeing the real ad when it ran and only now connect it to the joke.
Old commercials have been the channel's subject lately, and the Crunch short was not the only one moving. A bowling-themed M&M's ad that pokes fun at Mr. Bean, posted a few days earlier, picked up about twenty times its usual daily views on the same day. Around them sit a Volkswagen spot billed as the brand's most controversial and Drake in a State Farm Super Bowl commercial. The one that has started fastest among them is not an ad at all: it is the clip of Jennifer Aniston going unrecognized.
