Why it worked
The video works because it taps into a universal interest in food and a common question about quality comparisons between countries. The creator's expressive reactions and direct engagement with the audience (asking for comments) encourage interaction and debate, boosting algorithmic visibility. The rapid cuts keep viewers engaged, and the clear presentation of each cheese with its country flag makes it easy to follow.
