The Most Popular Toy in History (Possibly the best-selling product ever made?)

[@TheGoodStuff]

In just a couple years, it sold more units than any toy before it - and any toy to come. But it didn't even start out as a toy and no one could've predicted its massive popularity of this seemingly simple puzzle from beyond the Iron Curtain. In the 40 some years since its debut, Rubik's Cube has held the title of bestselling toy ever. But why? And could it be the best-selling product ever? Depending on how you measure success, yes! Enjoy!

“Over 3 billion” is still technically correct

[@Theraot]

Which is the best kind of correct.

Your rendering of the cube with 2 green center squares is bugging the heck out of me, and I’m not even a cuber. 😝

[@8antipode9]

I had to stop the video and check to see if anyone else noticed that! Yeah, bugs me too! HOW DO I SOLVE IT DAMMIT

[@HeyHeyChey]

Unsolvable cube alert everyone!

[@TLG1255]

Great video! I liked the pacing and content! Really good animation and everything!

[@SpectralightPhoto]

Rubik was a good dude!

Ive never seen a Rubiks cube commercial come to think of it

John Green needs to see this

[@thefreshest2379]

I wonder if there are some combos that are harder to solve?

There are 6 center face cubes on a Rubik's cube, all different colors.

[@Deilwynna]

also, there are 4 edge pieces and 4 corner pieces of each colour as well as some colour combinations being on opposite sides to each other (meaning their edge and corner pieces isnt adjacent to that other colour when its in its solved state). these opposite colour combinations on an original rubiks cube are: red - orange green - blue yellow - white

TY 😃

It's pretty likely that the bible is the best-selling product ever made. Who would have thought, that a 2000 year old work of fiction, that isn't even well written, would be so popular. But here we are.

I can smell the edge from here

[@happyundertaker6255]

That’s what you get with a captive audience.

[@DarkorbitForever12]

@@firstname405 not believing in a 2000year old fiction book isnt edgy, its just using ur fkin brain.

[@Jrakula10]

I can tell youve done alot of research on how the bible came to be. Please tell me more.

@@DarkorbitForever12 naw diddums, someone got upset by me pointing out the fact the OP is wrong 🥺

[@jasondashney]

I agree by disagreeing. The Rubik’s cube is one single product, or at least the famous one is. Apple changes the iPhone constantly. Same with PlayStation. It’s the best selling (relatively) unchanged toy ever. Same manufacturer, same basic design. Also, how tf does this video gave so few views considering it’s subject matter and how many subscribers you guys have? What did you guys do to piss off the almighty Algorithm?

[@Splaith]

Rubik's cube is a single product. Playstation and iphones are different models. Highest selling playstation console was the PS2 at 155 million units and highest selling iphone was the iphone 6 and 6 plus at 222 million units. Rubik's cube still beats them at 450 million units. Rubik's cubes are all the same model. Try giving a kid who wants a PS5 a PS1 and explain it's the same product, or worse an old gen iphone.

[@Aneurin_Hunt]

Not exactly. Speedcubes exist and differ greatly. The difference is the turn better allowing you to solve faster. Then there are all the other twisty puzzles too.

[@HeyHeyChey]

You mean all playstations together, right?

Cool

"Most Popular"? Man your way off. Not too often your going to get a list of corrections in the comments. I'll start it off with Barbie at over a billion sold.
