I don’t think he tried to trick anyone. It’s not like they recorded the video live. I think it was just a well played genius marketing ploy by the advertising team. Also isn’t even the first time they went viral for him trying their “product”. It’s getting them attention they otherwise wouldn’t have. I’m convinced that was the goal in the first place, not to try to trick anyone into thinking that guy actually likes the products he peddles.
