The Actual Difference Between Cheap and Expensive Olive Oil

What to study

Curiosity Gap

  • Home cooks buy olive oil all the time, so whether the pricey one is worth it matters.
  • Poured into bowls, the two oils are bright green and pale yellow, a gap you see before it's explained.
  • Arrows tie each bottle to its bowl.
How the packaging works
Title

Cheap and Expensive leaves the prices out, so it fits whatever cheap and expensive mean to each viewer.

Thumbnail

Graza's lime squeeze bottle faces a supermarket Pompeian marked Light Taste, so the packaging alone sets a trendy brand against an everyday one.

Remix this

If a cheap and an expensive version look different once used, show a sample of each side by side. Arrow each sample back to its package, and let the title ask what the difference is.

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