Wasn't trying to be mean or cranky; i love the recipe. The problem is that the style and tone of the message gets in the way of the information. I don't think it will go viral because anyone who sends it onward has to put their sense of humor on the line. People won't send something that has to go with a disclaimer: "I think this is dorky but the message is great..." Great video is harder than rocket science in most cases. :-(

@chartwig0 Someone's grumpy :(

This is a great message with home-made production that subverts the information. The dopy music, tone, schlocky acting, and bad lighting aren't funny enough to be truly funny; the best part, ironically, is the straightforward presentation of the recipe for the greener cleaner. Just do that in 10 seconds and Ecology will be miles ahead.
