The video begins with images of the vendor selling tender coconut water in a unique arrangement on the back of a car. Delicate coconuts are displayed on the roof of the car and on a table in front of the seller. You can see some passers-by curiously looking at the seller and his unique sales process. The food vlogger walks up to the seller and says, “1 dedo bhaiya jaldi jaldi (Give me a quick coconut water).” Without wasting a second, the seller grabs a knife, cuts off a part of the peel and drills a precise one hole in the coconut before giving it to the vlogger. “Lelo (take),” he says in Hindi. The video ends with the seller shouting “Nariyal”. Nariyal Pani pee lo. (Coconut, drink coconut water),” similar to the salespeople in India who attract customers with a certain pitch in their voice.
