The video opens with the visuals of the vendor selling tender coconut water in a unique set-up arranged at the back of a car. 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 at the vendor and his unique selling procedure with curiosity. Approaching the seller, the food vlogger says, “1 dedo bhaiya jaldi jaldi (Give me one coconut water quickly).” Without wasting a second, the vendor grabs a knife, slices a part of the skin and makes a precise hole into the coconut before giving it to the vlogger. “Lelo (Take),” he says in Hindi. The video ends with the vendor screaming, “Nariyal. Nariyal pani pee lo. (Coconut, drink coconut water)”, much like the vendors in India who attract customers with a specific pitch in their voices.
