The sole purpose of the videos is to watch glass bottles and jars filled with different things roll down a flight of stairs to see if they will smash or not.

The bottle shatters as soon as it hits the second step. It’s then followed by a bottle of champagne, a jar of olives, a bottle of beer, a jar of coleslaw, a bottle of cooking sauce, and a glass bottle of coca cola.

Viewers are loving the new type of content, but some worry about the waste

Being a form of visual ASMR, the videos provide viewers with satisfaction when seeing the bottles smash against the marble-looking flooring.

“Why do I love this so much?” one person commented on the video.

Another person said: “This has no business being this entertaining.”

“Is it bad that I find this satisfying,” a third wrote.

Even though a lot of people enjoyed the videos, some couldn’t help to worry about the cleaning process after, as well as all of the wasted food.

One said: “I wonder how gross this staircase smells at this point.”

“All I’m thinking about is the cleaning,” another wrote.

“I know that’s your context and also really satisfying but for me it’s more like a waste of food, drinks, and money,” a third said.
