Why Peeling Plastic Is Addictive

People physically cannot scroll past a video of someone slowly peeling the protective plastic

off a brand new phone screen. Your brain literally freezes. Scientists say it

triggers the same dopamine response as popping bubble wrap. The slow reveal,

the satisfying peel, watching tiny air bubbles disappear. It's pure visual ASMR that hijacks

your attention every single time. That's why unboxing videos rack up millions of views.

Our brains are hardwired to find satisfaction in these oddly specific moments. Next time you see

one, try scrolling. You can't. Nobody can.
