The video gained 4 million views in 48 hours.

It also became a rite of passage for anime YouTubers. Almost every major channel—from Gigguk to Mother’s Basement—released a “trying the Breakfast Dart” video in late 2021. The most viewed, with 8 million hits, was titled: “Can Boruto’s Breakfast Dart Beat a Microwaved Egg?” (Spoiler: No, but it was funnier.) Boruto’s Breakfast Dart 2021 was more than a product—it was a moment. In a year when the world craved playfulness and connection, this ridiculous ninja kitchen gadget delivered smiles, splatters, and a surprising amount of genuine utility. It didn’t change breakfast forever. It didn’t need to. It reminded us that even the most mundane meal could be an adventure.

Whether you’re a hardcore Boruto fan, a collector of weird kitchenware, or just someone who wants to launch chocolate milk at a bowl of Froot Loops, the Breakfast Dart remains a legendary footnote in both anime and viral merchandise history.
