Blueberries or raspberries? Sam Jose's baby gender reveal says girl

The kitchen creator and his wife Jess are expecting a daughter, and the short passed two and a half million views in three days.

Is it a boy or a girl? Sam Jose answered the question his viewers had been asking since the pregnancy news, and the answer is pink. "Baby gender reveal 🩵🩷" went up on Friday, drew more than a million views on its first day, and has kept going since.

It is a very Sam way to do it: berries rather than balloons. Black-and-white photos hide the color, and the comment section has turned into a guessing game after the fact. A good number of viewers insist they spotted the texture of raspberries before the reveal, while one of the most liked replies admits to reading the same pictures as blueberries. Others are just glad the whole thing involved fruit and not fire.

The pregnancy has been running through his week. The other upload, "Making dirt for my pregnant wife," is the kind of kitchen oddity the channel is built on, cooked for Jess this time. Behind both, two older videos are still busy: a month-old take on making sugar from scratch, and the cheese-wheel cleaning video that has now passed 31 million views.

Taken together, the channel ran at roughly four times its usual daily pace, well beyond anything else among cooking channels of its size. Crazy Korean Cooking had a steady week, Caked by Rach a warmer one, and the from-scratch dad-to-be sits in a league of his own for now.
