Marques Blind Ranks Halloween Candy

Twix gets a comfortable middle slot. Then Marques Brownlee pulls out candy corn and puts it near the top, setting the tone for a candy ranking his colleagues aren't about to let pass quietly.

"Marques Blind Ranks Halloween Candy" was The Studio's only new upload this week, reaching about 118,000 views. Brownlee assigns each sweet a place before knowing what will come out of the bowl next. Dots earns another high placement and objections from the desks behind him. His defense is simple: "It's my list, okay?"

The comments have their own unfinished candy business. Viewers debate candy corn's placement above Twix and Skittles, question the late demotion of Nerds Gummy Clusters, and find common ground over Starburst jelly beans. For a behind-the-scenes channel built around a tech-reviewing team, it's a neatly low-stakes change of subject.

Gadgets account for the strongest daily momentum, though. "Do You Know These Foldables?" is drawing the most views per day of any upload, followed by the candy Short and the older "Apple Event Guess The Number."

The Studio added roughly two million views across the week while its subscriber count held steady. Daily viewing is below its usual level, but its weekly views gain was second among the nearby technology channels, behind Digital Doctor. Hardware Unboxed had a similar-sized weekly audience gain, while Jeff Geerling and bigclivedotcom are currently drawing more daily views than usual. For The Studio, foldables and a bowl of disputed sweets are doing much of the visible work.
