The video begins with scenes of a vendor selling coconut water in a unique set-up in the back of a car. Tender coconuts are displayed on the top of the car and on a table in front of the seller. Some passersby can be seen curiously observing the seller and his unique selling process. Approaching the seller, the food vlogger says, “1 dedo bhaiya jaldi jaldi (give me one 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 giving it to the vlogger. “Lelo (take it),” he says in Hindi. The video ends with the seller shouting, “Nariyal. Drink coconut water. (coconut, drink coconut water)”, like vendors in India who attract customers with a distinctive pitch in their voices.
