The video begins with footage of the vendor selling tender coconut water in a unique setup arranged on the back of a car. The tender coconuts are displayed on the top of the car and on a table in front of the vendor. Some passersby can be seen looking curiously at the seller and his unique sales procedure. Approaching the seller, the food vlogger says, “1 finger bhaiya jaldi jaldi (Give me a coconut water quickly).” Without wasting a second, the seller takes a knife, cuts a part of the skin and makes a precise hole in the coconut before handing it to the vlogger. “Lelo (Take),” he says in Hindi. The video ends with the salesman shouting, “Nariyal. Nariyal pani pee lo. (Coconut, drink coconut water)”, much like salespeople in India who attract customers with a specific tone in their voices.
