Spoon University's biggest hit was a video that teaches people how to make smiley fries. It has attracted more than 75 million views.
Max Bartick, director of video production at Spoon University, said: “Videos that people are really drawn to have to do with nostalgia. Our biggest ever was DIY smiley fries — that's our most viral video to date."
He added: "There's an emotional connection to that time when you're 7 years old.”

Bartick said that while the videos are 30 seconds long, "you get to see the whole process completely. It is mesmerizing. It is soothing."
