In the video’s initial moments, Carlos eagerly approaches the sugarcane vendor, attempting his best broken Hindi as he asks, “Hello hello, how much for this?” The vendor responds with “Rs 20,” prompting Carlos to politely request, “Can I have one, please?”
With a nod from the shopkeeper, Carlos turns the camera to capture the entire process of extracting and preparing the refreshing sugarcane juice. While waiting, he strikes a conversation with another customer who recognizes him as a vlogger. Impressed, the man offers to tell Carlos the price of his drink will cost him only Rs 10 in a smaller cup.

Moved by the gesture, Carlos reciprocates by offering to pay for the man’s sugarcane juice as well. As they engage in small talk over their healthy beverages, Carlos learns that a large glass costs Rs 20 while a small glass is priced at Rs 10.
Apart from appreciating the taste of the drink that comes in mild sweetness, Carlos also praises the honesty of the vendor for not charging him an inflated price as he was a foreigner.
