Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Does $1 Food Still Exist?

Addie Bowley drew more weekly views than any of his nearby food-channel peers, with Mythical Kitchen also having a substantial week. The main attraction was a modestly priced question: "Does $1 Food Still Exist?"

That upload is approaching nine million views and is comfortably the channel's busiest video right now. Its comments have become part fast-food memory lane, part appreciation for the people behind the counter. Viewers recall dollar menus and inexpensive Whoppers, compare those memories with today's purchases, and single out the Dunkin staff's generosity. Several also mention Addie's tip for the staff.

His other new upload, "Can You Survive Locked Inside a Gas Station?", takes the food challenge somewhere with a closing time. The location was Halfmoon Sunoco in Clifton Park, New York, which allowed him to film there. It joins an existing gas-station thread: the older "Can You Survive on Gas Stations?" remains among his busiest daily draws.

Across the channel, daily viewing is running at more than twice its usual pace, while the subscriber count grew by about 20,000 over the week. The giant-candy movie outing we covered previously is also drawing viewers, but the dollar-food search now supplies far more of the daily activity. Oversized sweets have company in Addie's catalog: the question of what a single dollar can buy.
