Street vendors who sell fruits or vegetables often employ creative marketing techniques to attract customers. In a similar vein, a mango seller in Pakistan sings an improvised version of Shakira’s hit song ‘Waka Waka’ as a promotional gig. In the viral video from Pakistan’s Attock, the seller encourages customers to buy mangoes from him and feed them to their children in “raw form” or “juice”. The clip was shared by BJP’s Temjen Imna Along, the Tourism and Higher Education Minister of Nagaland on Twitter. The seller urged people to purchase mangoes from him for their children and feed them in “the raw form” or as “juice”.
