Every Chocolate Explained

What to study

Curiosity Gap

  • Everyone knows Dark, Milk and White, so Ruby, Blonde and Modica feel like gaps in what you know.
  • Ruby is the only pink square among the browns, so your eye lands first on the type you're least likely to have tried.
How the packaging works
Title

'Every' promises all of them, not a top ten, so even a chocolate fan expects to meet types they've never heard of.

Thumbnail

Eight pieces drawn the same size on plain white read like a chart, and a mug of hot chocolate under Drink shows nothing is left out.

Remix this

When your topic has a few options everyone knows and several they don't, show them all in one labeled grid. Make the least-known option the only one in a different color, so the eye finds it first.

Ask your own AI chat for titles and thumbnail ideas for your video, using the psychology behind this one.

Make this prompt yours

Prepare a prompt for ChatGPT or Gemini. Images are generated there using your own account.

The transferable lesson

Give the option viewers know least the only different color, so their eye goes straight to what they don't know.
