This creator normally gets 2.2M views. This one got 5.3M. That gap — not the raw number — is what makes the format worth copying.
The video humorously contrasts the fasting experience of Muslims during Ramadan with non-Muslims eating freely, and then shows a Muslim watching a mukbang video, implying the struggle of fasting.

Why it worked
The video works because it uses relatable humor and a popular audio trend to highlight a cultural observance. The contrast between the two scenarios creates a comedic effect, resonating with those who observe Ramadan and amusing others with the shared human experience of temptation. The use of a trending audio track also boosts its discoverability and engagement.
