Stanley Chen created a fake five-star Ramen restaurant called "Nise Ramen," which translates to fake ramen in Japanese.
He created a fake website and used doctored photos to hype up the product.
When word spread about this delicious new place, he only allowed influencers with a large following to make reservations. As part of his marketing campaign, he also offered the food for free.
Everyone loved the food and said they would easily pay up to $50 for a bowl of the delicious soup.
People lined up for hours to get into the place.
At the end of the video, Chen says all it took was some nice bowls, and instant Ramen to create a five star restaurant.
"It just goes to show you how easy it is for a restaurant to sell you the sizzle and serve you "$h!t." he finishes.
You can watch the extended video below.
Genius!
