22:07World's Largest Devil's Toothpaste Explosion
Save referenceScale & Specificity
The foam cloud fills the sky, and the arrow points at the tiny man beneath so you cannot miss the size gap. A human for scale turns big into unbelievable. The strange name then leaves one question open, what on earth is devil's toothpaste.
Title
The title stakes a world record on a strangely named substance.
Thumbnail
The image dwarfs a human under the explosion so the scale reads instantly.
If your result is physically huge, put a person in frame and point at them, not the big thing. The viewer's eye measures the gap on its own, which sells scale better than any number.
Sell size with a tiny human, not a big number.
