Viral video: Long before the concept of money took over, bartering was the go-to method for trading goods and services across various civilizations. While bartering still lingers in some remote corners, encountering it in a modern city is undoubtedly surprising! In a recent viral video circulating on social media, a quirky bartering incident unfolds. The video captures a man engaging in an unexpected trade at an FL retail counter. What’s the twist? He’s trading tomatoes for liquor!
Tomatoes, the new currency
The video showcases the man approaching the counter with a request for a bottle of liquor. However, he arrives armed not with cash, but with a handful of tomatoes. The exchange takes an amusing turn when the counter attendant questions, “In exchange for tomatoes, you want liquor?” With a hearty laugh, the customer nods, sealing the deal with this unconventional bartering arrangement.
Amidst skyrocketing tomato prices in the retail market, the demand for this everyday staple has dwindled. While trading tomatoes for liquor might seem peculiar, it humorously highlights the unusual ways people adapt to changing circumstances.
Netizens react to the hilarious video
The video, initially shared on Instagram by user mmanu262608, has rapidly gained traction across various social media platforms. One user commented, “Payment mode tamatar.” Another user commented, “Zomato wala laya tomato.” One of them commented, “Tamatar >>>>> UPI.” Some comments were like ,”Barter system,” “Bhai ko thug liya bar vaalo ne 200rs kilo h aur di 150 vaali h.”
