Doctor Reacts To Ridiculous 5-Minute Crafts Videos

5 Minute Crafts is one of the most successful channels on YouTube, highlighting tips and tricks to improve small parts of your every day life. Over the years they’ve made a few videos about first aid and health hacks that I couldn’t let slide. Some of this is so painful to watch and unnecessary. Today we talk about the many uses for tampons, giving children medicine and shots, activated charcoal as toothpaste, the multi faceted possibilities of normal toothpaste, coca cola, a ton of remedies for scrapes, and other tricks that Five Minute Crafts really think are necessary. Have you tried any of these? Did they work for you?

I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

At this point I’m 100% sure they’re self aware of how ridiculous they are and they’re just owning up to it. There is no other explanation

[alessandrogulino]

I like how they used colgate for literally everything, but when it came to brush teeth they used coal

“You can’t just put random fruits on your feet and hope it solves all your problems”
-Dr. Mike, quote of the year

[skinwalker]

The fact that Mike knows how much a single bra costs is IMPRESSIVE

Watching Mike's face during the salt bush part and seeing him get increasingly annoyed had me dying.

"You could have just put lotion on it!! Why did you waste a perfectly good condom?!?"

The "Emotional Damage" addition was perfect! Steven He's dad is probably the one teaching the mother how to be a parent.
