5 Minute Crafts

[Anonymous]

Has anyone else seen those 5 Minute Crafts videos on social media (mainly Facebook)? They are like the cake decorating videos or Tasty videos that pop up in your feed.

They seems like normal videos, until you actually watch more than 15 seconds, and then it is clear that they are a lower production quality and often contain really really stupid and dangerous suggestions! Stuff like aluminum foil in the microwave, weird chemicals/solutions that could taint food, etc... I've gotten to this point where I can't look away and that means I keep seeing more of them, and I noticed that all the (silent) people in them look kind of eastern European. Vaguely...Russian? It truly make me wonder who is producing these and to what end. I would love to see an investigative piece on this.

OP here. Here's an article: https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2018/11/12/18065662/troom-troom-5-minute-crafts-youtube-diy-prank

The description is spot on: stuff like inserting cheese into an empty glue stick container. And they have a teen channel!

I agree, I love watching them. I'd never do any of them but I just love seeing them.

Have you seen the Tiny Kitchen by Tastemade's (tinykitchentm) IG account? OMG, talk about mesmerizing. It's a miniature kitchen and you see a person's hand cooking all kinds of cool stuff. Sushi, soup, cake, taco's, steak, tuna casserole, etc. And it's all miniature, the stove, the bowls, the food portions, the fridge, the utenils, pots/pans.
