Note how this article is dependent on self-created and user-generated sources. I can find nothing else in

reliable sources, and all sources found are circular discussions about how the video went viral because people talked about it going viral. This article merely repeats that process. If anyone thinks the title is a valid search term, the article could possibly be redirected to The Key of Awesome. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 16:07, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply

The video generated over 2 million views and marks the only collaboration between hit YouTube channels The Key of Awesome and Epic Meal Time. It was also listed among Top 2011 YouTube Food Videos by Eater now owned by Vox Media. The page has since been updated with new references and information. Granted, it was not as viral as their other video Crush on Obama, but marks a highly significant crossover between two of the biggest channels on YouTube at the time (note: this happened almost 10 year ago). Being listed as a viral video has been removed as well. That should fix the issue in place so as not to be removed, but hopefully improved as the content and topic is still viable and significant. Thank you. ---EXTREMERX520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:08, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I cannot find any significant coverage of this video by any reliable sources. The Eater article is one paragraph long and is basically just a five video playlist of the top five Youtube food videos of 2011. And many of the current references don't even mention the video, they only mention either Epic Meal Time or Key of Awesome. Bait30 ^Talk? 21:44, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
