Why it worked
The video uses a 'life hack' format, which naturally creates curiosity and a desire to learn something new or validate existing knowledge. The unexpected combination of ingredients (baking soda, vinegar, garlic) for a watermelon is inherently surprising and generates discussion and engagement, whether people believe it or not. The text overlay directly challenges the viewer, further increasing engagement.
