The following Food Theorists video is about polls that yield wacky results, with a specific focus on a Korean campaign to get kids to vote for a particular flavor of Chex cereal. The two "candidates" were a type of chocolate flavor—which the kids were obviously supposed to pick—and a type of green-onion flavor, which the kids were obviously supposed to vote against. Trolls who understood that the vote was rigged from the beginning voted heavily in favor of onion-flavored Chex, and the video's discussion then moves to the larger issue of votes/polling in general. This video came out right before Election Day last year (November 3); the timing and the significance of this video are eerie, given the electoral shenanigans we've seen.
