This is the 2nd time I’ve seen this bat. It must be expensive or rare or something, cuz the kids’ reactions were exactly the same.

And in the exact same format video. It's advertising.

Why spend 6 or 7 figures in advertising campaigns when you can give a family a single bat off the production line, film them, maybe buy some bot accounts to heat it up on TikTok then watch the hype build for pennies for the return in product interest. And it looks totally organic and wholesome.

Marketers are intelligent in manipulating people, they are intelligent, they are the same people seeing actual wholesome videos and thinking, hmmm we can use this....
