How the partnership worked

One product claim, one clear comic idea

  1. The brief

    Make 20 grams of fiber part of the performance

    Introduce Banza’s 20 grams of fiber per 3.5-ounce serving in a Reel viewers would choose to watch.

  2. The creative move

    Treat fiber like an absurd flex

    I treated fibermaxxing as my latest reason to feel wildly superior, then showed the box, the cooking, and the finished bowl.

  3. What I made

    I handled the full story

    I developed the concept, wrote and performed the script, cooked the pasta, filmed and edited the Reel, published it, and followed up with a Story poll.

What viewers saw

The box, the claim, the cooking, and the payoff

The product stays visible while I deliver the claim as part of the performance.

How the Reel presented Banza’s fiber claim

I hold a red Banza rotini box beside a pot while cooking the pasta in my kitchen.
The Reel moves from the fiber claim to the box, the cooking, and the finished bowl.

The ask was specific: make 20 grams of fiber memorable

Banza wanted more people to know that its pasta has 20 grams of fiber per 3.5-ounce serving. The Reel needed to state the number clearly while still working as an episode of Better Than Everyone.

I used my Better Than Everyone series, where I take an ordinary choice and treat it like proof that I’m better than everyone. In this Reel, eating more fiber becomes my latest reason to feel superior.

One good food choice became an unreasonable flex

The Reel opens with the line, “Me fibermaxxing thinking I’m better than everyone.” I’ve made one reasonable food choice and immediately decided it puts me above the rest of society.

Then I hold up the Banza box, cook the rotini, and return with the finished dish. I say the 20-gram claim and serving size while bragging about fibermaxxing.

Viewers saw Banza from box to bowl

I developed the concept, wrote and performed the script, cooked the pasta, filmed and edited the Reel, and published the partnership. Banza appears in the opening kitchen scene, in my hand, in the pot, and in the finished bowl. The pasta stays on screen from the box through the finished dish.

I followed the Reel with a Story poll asking whether viewers had tried Banza. The Story reached 1,348 viewers, and 58% of respondents chose “Not yet.”

People talked back and passed the Reel along

The Reel received more than 24,600 views from more than 19,300 people. It drew 239 comments and 238 shares. The counts differed by one.

The post generated more than 1,800 visible interactions, including roughly 1,300 likes. Viewers also saved it 65 times and reposted it 34 times. One out of every 104 views produced a share.

The comments show how the message landed. Some viewers repeated the 20-gram number in their own jokes. Others described bringing Banza to work, making mac and cheese with it, or keeping boxes at home. Several simply volunteered that they already loved the brand.

The 20-gram claim gave viewers language to reuse

Showing Banza from box to finished bowl tied the fiber claim to the product. Commenters repeated “20 grams” and added their own fibermaxxing jokes.

Viewers shared the Reel 238 times. The Story poll found that 58% of respondents had not tried Banza.
