What to study

Curiosity Gap

A rainbow rose looks too good to be true, and you've likely seen seeds for one sold online. Kevin's squint says he doubts it, and 'SCAM SEEDS?' asks your question. The title says he grew them, so you click to see what came up.

How the packaging works
Title

'eBay' names a shop everyone knows, 'Weird' promises fun rather than a lecture, and 'Grew Them' says it's a real test, not just a rant about listings.

Thumbnail

The rose is the kind of picture used to sell these seeds, so it stands for the claim, and Kevin's side-eye plus the question mark keep the verdict open.

Remix this

When your audience keeps seeing a claim that looks too good to be true, put the claim's own picture in the thumbnail beside your doubtful face. Ask the question in two words, and let the title say you tested it.
