    His English is so cute!!! Haha it's really good for someone that learned in middle school. No only what he did was amazing, his personality alone made what he was doing even more amazing. Something so simple had me smiling the entire time. Thanks for sharing.

      PS: I just found out it's no honey they use. It's just sugar with syrup and stuff... damn liar.

    I know this is a per-rehearsed routine they do. I've seen many other videos of their same shtick. But this is the first one I saw but something about this guy in particular I keep coming back to this video. There's just something about this guy. He's just so charismatic and forms actual chemistry with the person filming that is just unique.

    What the hell do you know about marketing? This guy is genuinely sweet, and he's got an interesting, quaint shop where he seems to be delighting tourists. Effective marketing is setting yourself apart from you're competition by providing something unique. I know this because it's what I do professionally. This guy is so innately good, he's done this unintentionally by sheer force of personality. In fact, he's so good at what he does, he just made it up the charts on Reddit.
