The video is a humorous exploration of how Facebook's algorithm recommends products to users based on their browsing history and interests. The host, Amy, orders five products that Facebook suggests she might want, with a budget of $25 per item.
The products include:
1. A personalized perfume from Walt Perfumes, which Amy names "Soft Face" and prices at $100, but ultimately decides not to buy.
2. A bra from Third Love, recommended based on a quick quiz about breast shape and cup size. Amy chooses a 24/7 classic t-shirt bra in size 32B for $2.99 shipping.
3. Organic condoms from Sustain, recommended by Facebook as a safe sex option. Amy purchases a pack of 10 for $14.
4. A bundle of twelve guilt-free chocolate snack bars from Cute Nutrition, which Amy purchases for $15.
5. A curated style box from Stitch Fix, which Amy purchases for $100.
Amy also receives a box of natural condoms from Sustain, a song from True and Co, and a bra from Ko. She tries on the items, expressing her likes and dislikes, and ultimately decides to keep the song, the Stitch Fix items, and the natural condoms.
Amy concludes by stating that while she was pleasantly surprised by how much she liked most of the items, she believes that Facebook's recommendations are more generally targeted towards a young woman in her early to mid-20s. She also notes that while Facebook can be a good place to discover new companies, she believes it's more efficient to do your own online shopping.
