Why it worked
The video presents a simple, seemingly ingenious 'life hack' that taps into curiosity and the desire for self-sufficiency or cost-saving. The 'reveal' of the salt at the end is satisfying, and the process is easy to follow visually. The use of a popular water bottle brand adds a touch of relatable, everyday context.
