For business owners, each has their own unique way of marketing and boosting sales. While most choose to advertise on social media or hire influencers, some take a more creative and unconventional approach to attract customers.
One such innovative seller in Kampung Padang Tola, Pasir Mas, Kelantan has caught the attention of many for a rather poetic method of selling drinks.
Heartbreak poems on a drink stall?
A viral TikTok video by @airbalangcabe showcases a stall selling various flavored drinks, including yam, corn, lemon soda, coconut shake, and strawberry.
But what makes it stand out isn’t the drinks—it’s the emotional, heartbreak-themed messages pasted on the drink containers.
Each large drink container is adorned with deep, poetic phrases that resemble thoughts of a heartbroken soul.
Interestingly, despite the poetic and heartfelt messages on the drink containers, each beverage is priced at an affordable RM4.
Netizens’ reaction
With over 1.6 million views, the video has captured the attention of social media users.
Scrolling through the comment section, many netizens shared their amusement, with some even joking that the poetic messages made them feel as if they were going through a heartbreak themselves
“I’m scared to buy it… my heart is already troubled… if I don’t buy it, I’ll just end up crying reading those words 🥺🥺.”
“Disappointment is so cheap now, only RM4.”
“Drinking coconut shake can quench your thirst better than taking back an ex who will surely disappoint you again….”
In a separate video, many customers were seen smiling and entertained as they read the poetic lines on the drink containers.
The seller’s creative marketing strategy has clearly resonated with the public, turning a simple drink stall into a conversation starter.
