Sodapoppin Remembers His Famous Guest 😂
A million in about a day. Nick Polom's short "Sodapoppin Remembers His Famous Guest 😂" went up on October 1 and had crossed that line some 29 hours later. On this channel, a new short usually finishes its first day somewhere near 40,000 views.
The clip, cut by the channel's editor HJSmith, puts Sodapoppin in front of the camera, looking back on a well-known visitor to his stream. Sodapoppin built his name on World of Warcraft broadcasts in Twitch's early years and has long been a familiar face in Nick's orbit. The title doesn't name the guest, and the joke works without it.
The comment section reads like a crowd rewinding for details. Many viewers bring up Soda's old habit of slamming his head on the desk and say this story finally explains it. A throwaway line about taking things to Discord gets its own round of laughs. Sharp-eyed viewers point out a Bob Ross poster in the background and a can of Mango Loco on the desk. Likes came in about eight times faster than on a usual first day. Comments picked up too, but at a much calmer pace.
The short roughly doubled the channel's normal daily views on its own. Nick's other uploads from the same few days look more like his usual rhythm: Katchii working through 100 shrimp, Nick picking up the dinner bill for Cinna and Pokimane, and Asmongold explaining himself to a chatter. None of them has come close to 60,000 views yet. For now, the story Soda told is the one doing the work.
