YouTube personality iJustine recently teamed up with her best friend Ro to test out children's board game Pop the Pig in a fun challenge video.
The game is designed for players ages 4 and up, and requires users to feed a plastic pig mini hamburgers until its snug belt pops open. Despite of being designed for younger kids, this board game is played by the teen YouTube personalities who compete in an effort to achieve victory before the other -- a process that is surprisingly harder than it seems.
In addition to her Pop the PIg video, iJustine has also created challenges for games like Burger Mania, and Tiny Smores. Targeting Gen-Z viewers, the YouTube star reviews products in a humorous way, while pointing out the pros and cons of popular board games on the market.
