A "thirst trap" is a post, either a photo or a video, on social media that is chosen with the intent of luring compliments, provocations of love, and to draw public attention. For years, thirst trap posts have been a staple on influencer sites and have grown into a certain style of video that achieves the desired effect of fetching a fair amount of looks, likes, and comments. One videographer, who is a classic creative and is inspired largely by requests from her following, recently created a thirst trap video that blows all of the others out of the water. Instead of making a video of a cute girl in a bathing suit at the beach showing 90% of her rear, Ashley Xu, aka @ashhasacamera, made a sensual, attractive video of something we all love even more than hot girls: Chicken Nuggets.
Ashley is no stranger to taking video creation requests from her audience. Because of her videography and photography skills, she's created a range of amazing videos, but has become famous recently for her videos of food. Have you ever watched a commercial for fast food and thought, ‘Wow, if McDonald’s looked that good in real life, I'd eat it every day'. Well, Ashley makes ordinary foods just as extraordinary.
Ashley's chicken nugget thirst trap video is honestly a work of art. Humanity is classically conditioned to drool like Pavlolv's dogs when we hear the crunch of battered and fried chicken, so it's no surprise that Ashley's video makes us feel, see, and almost taste how delicious these dino nuggets are. The behind the scenes shots make the video look like it's going to be the most boring video on the planet, but then, in post production, Ashley creates magic that will stick in our minds forever and haunt our most glorious dreams.
The final chicken nugget video is victorious. The chicken nugget is a cherished food item for most people ever since childhood and is the one dish that exists almost identically on every continent as a staple meal. Everyone loves nuggies. Ashley's thirst trap video is the one that will put every swim suit influencer to shame, making a handful of fried chicken the object of everyone's true desire.
