YouTube beginnings
Robinett began posting videos on YouTube in mid-2006.[3] Initially, he posted videos as the character "renetto", "a squeaky-voiced, intellectually challenged reviewer of others' YouTube videos."[4] Robinett gained greater notoriety with a video called "Diet Coke+Mentos=Human experiment: EXTREME GRAPHIC CONTENT" posted in August 2006, in which he placed a large quantity of Mentos in his mouth and drank Diet Coke at the same time, and implied that he suffered serious injury as a result.[1][4] The video received over one million views within 24 hours of being released.[4]
YouTube success
In late 2006 he was ranked on YouTube's "most subscribed"(9th All Time) list.[5]
Robinett was nominated for the first YouTube Video Awards.[6][7] He is also an official partner in YouTube's revenue sharing program.
Robinett is based in Canal Winchester, Ohio, where he owned and ran a candle shop and now sells his own line of hand-signed, hand-poured candles on www.paulrobinett.com.[8] In September 2007 he announced his move and challenged YouTubers to find him,[2] and ended up in Ahwatukee, Phoenix, Arizona. He later returned to Ohio.
