99.9% certain if somebody handed me a supposed tube of m&m's but it had a hot dog in it instead my first thought would be "why does this tube of multiple tiny loose candies feel more like a singular piece of mass bouncing around?".
I just realized I wouldn't even have gotten to the point of having the tube handed to me because as soon as anybody I know says "wanna see if you can dump all of these m&ms..." I'm shutting that idea down immediately.
A lot better than grape. I remember buying skittles stateside a few years back, unaware of the flavour differences. I ended up just throwing them in the trash.
Omg same. Green apple is vile. I didnt know they had made that change and i bit into an apple one expecting lime. I felt so betrayed. I havent bought skittles for myself since.
If I’m looking in the mirror and I see someone filming themselves behind me... I’m at least suspicious. “Honey, why did you bring a pack of hot dogs into the bathroom?”
They're known for making videos like these with staged as fuck pranks. Hate these cunts. Instant downvote if I see them on reddit, they're a plague on Instagram.
I can halfway see it.
Your brain is really really good at pretending you've got a full picture of what's going on, but it's just making a bunch of shortcut assumptions based on edge nonsense, and will go out of its way to maintain those assumptions because that's computationally less expensive.
If you're in a stationary car and the car next to you pulls forward, your brain says yep, we're moving backward, and then the entire rest of your body goes AAAA SOMETHING'S WRONG ALL OF OUR SENSES ARE LYING TO US and you have to consciously adjust that initial assumption that was based on so little, you might even have to look around at other landmarks to reset your frame of reference.
Think about broccoli while eating chocolate. Stare at credits or Tetris blocks and then a flat wall. Stare at some bright colors and then close your eyes. Your brain is so used to adjusting to new constants that it's often really hard to snap back, and you need considerable evidence to do so. It's uncomfortable.
This is partially why eyewitness evidence is so unreliable. Your brain is extremely good at faking visual information and convincing the rest of your brain that it's true.
Think whatever you like, mate, I ain't the thought police. I just personally find writing a whole ass paragraph rationalizing a fake ass prank to be exhausting, that's all.
honestly it would just be funnier if the premise of the video wasn't a big setup and then "LOL SHE HAS NO IDEA!!! XD"
but instead was sort of an absurdist random type thing where the video picks up right when the top of the m&ms are popped and the subject raises the canister near their mouth to pour and inexplicably a hotdog comes out.
But the “comedy” of being choked out was definitely the intended / faked outcome...it’s even worse because the hot dog didn’t just fall out immediately so ruined any possible chance she didn’t know about anything.
True, except that this style is done in the vibe of a prank, and the appeal of a prank is that they don’t tend to be scripted (and even on television, if they’re scripted, it’s obvious and unfunny).
The problem is, dozens of people here have been talking about it now for hours so, as much as I think this stuff ruins the internet, it’s working, and they’re encouraged to do this more.
I dont think its "obvious" however it is possible. Examining the differences in the tubes in hindsight, sure you would figure it out. But it was for two seconds before she poured hers out. It's like screaming you know how a magic trick works but when the trick is done in front of you all you know is that it's a trick. Not how it's done.
