‘Satisfying Watch.’ Why Videos Of Glass Bottles Rolling Down Stairs Are Going Viral

You never can tell what the next big thing will be on the internet. It could literally be anything, but while sometimes there’s no rhyme or reason to the popularly, that’s not the case with the recent trend of rolling glass bottles down the stairs.

These kinds of videos could fall into the “satisfying watch” or “relaxing” category, as they did actually originate in the ASMR arena, but they’re now expanding, landing on FYPages everywhere.

This one, posted by @rachapotes, featured various glass bottles rolling down marble (or faux marble) stairs and grabbed 200 million views.

That is, as one commenter pointed out, more than the Succession  finale.

By a lot.
