- Science experiment; swabbing public/personal things and trying to see how much bacteria and germs are present through cultured agar.
- Why It Works
- Predictability of the content makes people stay and see how much bacteria or germs they would encounter in the chosen things/places.
- Use It When
- You run a brand that sells hygiene/cleaning products and want to prove the effectiveness of your product to the potential customer.
What is this trend about
At first, people just don’t care. As long as something or some places look clean, it’s enough.
But this creator just makes it impossible for us to turn a blind eye to the potential bacteria and germs in everything we use.

He would go to public places, see something people often use together, and swab it. Then, at his laboratory, he would conduct an experiment with cultured agar to see how many bacteria and germs he found. 🧫🦠
He made a whole series of these experiments, and now people are hooked on them. People know how to do the experiment, but they will always be curious about the outcome in different things or places.

Microbiologist here……..you should be plating 1 mL of water so you know how many cfu per mL or filter 100 mL using a filter cup with grid paper you can put on media to grow bacteria. Your diluted swab method is not an acceptable way to culture a water sample.

Fake. There will ALWAYS be bacteria present in lake water.

Why would there be zero bacteria in fresh water?!

What if you used the cotton swab directly instead of diluted solution? I find it extremely hard to believe that water has zero microbial life.

Poor collection. Poor technique. Highly questionable results.

28.6M 18.7K 1.4M One thing we can highlight from Howdirtyis’ series is creating demand before people realize they need it.
In this case, Howdirtyis realizes that bacteria and germs are everywhere, but not everyone can see them. Thus, he closes that gap with his experiment. Now, everyone can see what they couldn’t see before, and they want to see more.
How about public parks? Our favorite coffee shop? Or the phone we’re using every day?
Now, he has 2.4M+ average views and 579K+ followers.
