The internet is a source of much entertainment and interesting news. We often come across some hilarious anecdotes and relatable stories from users online. Sometimes, food lovers even share their recommendations for places to eat in the city. Recently, one such food stall recommendation went viral and not because of the food. A Twitter user shared a picture of a juice stall from Bellandur, Bengaluru. The unique aspect of this stall was the fact that the juice seller was actually advertising his own YouTube channel! Take a look:
Yesterday, I had fresh juice from this vendor in Bellandur. What stood out was that he had a “YouTube” channel (with 2k subscribers!) along with common barcodes.
And he was promoting it - visit my channel! This is peak creator economy and ofc @peakbengalurupic.twitter.com/ZnhiwVRnIn— Keshav Lohia (@Keshav_Lohiaa) March 18, 2023

Along with the payment QR codes, he also had a separate QR code for his own YouTube channel. The vendor goes by the handle 'Kum Kum Mridha' on YouTube and actually has nearly 2k subscribers who watch his videos on food, recipes and the like.
