Curiosity and temptation go hand in hand. The more curious among us will always be tempted to do something they maybe shouldn't just because they have this unending need to find out what will happen if they do. The pull to push that big red button with the "DO NOT PUSH" sign next to it is simply too strong for some people. They have to find out what that button does.
So what happens when popular YouTuber Blake Grigsby places a mysterious, closed door (with a sign that says, "What is behind the door?" next to it) in the middle of the Great Hall of Chicago's Union Station? Well, I think you already know the answer. People are inevitably going to open that door!
Blake places his closed door and sign in the middle of the Great Hall and then starts filming from afar. Before long, people begin moving toward the door to check it out. They look around and think it over before finally deciding to turn the handle and open the door.
And out comes…hundreds of colorful, plastic ball-pit balls! The same balls we all remember from the ball pits we played in as kids come tumbling out of the door, clacking against the hard floor, and rolling all over the train station. It's a beautiful little experiment with some really interesting results.
My favorite thing about the video, however, is the varied responses from the people that open the door. Some people start laughing right away and looking around like they're on a hidden camera show. Some people try their hardest to slam the door shut before all of the balls can make their way out. And some people just stand there staring in wonderment as the train station floor fills with colorful plastic balls.
What a cool idea, and what a cool way to give the people in Chicago's Union Station something to chuckle about for the rest of the day. If only we could all be as innocent and happy as the little kid that's on the floor swimming in the balls near the end of the video. Ha!
