Why it worked
The video is highly engaging due to the competitive nature of the rock-paper-scissors game combined with the anticipation of who gets to eat the delicious-looking Korean corn dogs. The escalating reactions and playful arguments between the participants create humor and keep viewers entertained. The use of a popular food item (Korean corn dogs) also broadens its appeal.
