History

The Daisy Brown YouTube channel was created on June 27th, 2017. The following month, Daisy Brown uploaded its first video, titled "How I feed Alan", which introduced the characters of Daisy and Alan (shown below). At this point Daisy introduces a few key facts: Alan at this point is blind, can't feel with his eyes, and relies on a diet of sugar pills due to inability to process anything else in his digestive system. In the video Alan appears bedridden in a blanket as Daisy places sugar pills into Alan's mouth, explaining Alan's condition at this time. To date this video is the series's most popular video with over 1.2 million views.
