The latest trend on the block in Ahmedabad is the AK47 soda. The street vendor’s eyeball-grabbing branding and serving technique is why you must give the AK47 soda, a shot!

If you have ever drank ENO, the digestive drink, you know it’s a race against time. It’s all about quickly sipping the fizzy soda before the bubbles spill all over your clothes. The charm is in the fizz. The cure is also in the fizz. That’s pretty much what drinking AK47 soda seems to be like. In a viral video by @sidshahofficial, you can witness the street vendor at Ahmedabad’s Fountain Soda enthusiastically introducing his customers to this unusual world.
The soda maestro first serves a glass of refreshing soda to his customer. Next, as the customer sips the bubbling soda, at the precise interval, the soda expert stops him. Saying “stop, break, relax, he makes the customer take a short pause. Then, he adds lemon juice to the half-finished soda glass and asks the customer to drink it quickly before the bubbles spill over. The street vendor’s hilarious commentary amuses both customers and Netizens alike.
