00:00:00.228 --> 00:00:03.307
- I could feel the juice oozing
out the sides of my face.

00:00:03.757 --> 00:00:08.757
(festive piano music)

00:00:10.807 --> 00:00:13.477
- Every guy has his own paan guy.

00:00:13.477 --> 00:00:15.138
- I know nothing about paan.

00:00:15.138 --> 00:00:17.863
- My parents love this and
I'm only doing this video

00:00:17.863 --> 00:00:19.372
so that they don't disown me.

00:00:19.372 --> 00:00:21.778
- But yeah, I was forbidden
from ever having paan,

00:00:21.778 --> 00:00:23.079
and I don't know why.

00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:25.517
- Like the paan table is
usually the only table

00:00:25.517 --> 00:00:26.817
in an Indian wedding

00:00:26.817 --> 00:00:28.785
that is more crowded
than the buffet table.

00:00:28.981 --> 00:00:32.765
(playful music)

00:00:32.765 --> 00:00:33.990
- He's just got paan-cepted.

00:00:33.990 --> 00:00:36.823
- You put chocolate on
anything and it tastes good.

00:00:36.823 --> 00:00:37.934
- This is awesome.

00:00:37.934 --> 00:00:38.932
- (speaks foreign language)

00:00:38.932 --> 00:00:41.243
- It's like mint chocolate but leafy.

00:00:41.243 --> 00:00:43.588
- There's a smooth, sinewy of chocolate.

00:00:43.588 --> 00:00:46.468
- This isn't as horrible
as I expected it to be.

00:00:46.468 --> 00:00:49.229
- I feel like really full already.

00:00:49.379 --> 00:00:51.999
(playful music)

00:00:52.919 --> 00:00:54.656
- There's one leaf is
greener than the other,

00:00:54.656 --> 00:00:56.763
so I'm assuming this will be better.

00:00:56.763 --> 00:00:57.877
- We're relaxed.

00:00:57.877 --> 00:00:59.920
- It's light, it's coconutty.

00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:03.704
- No weird explosion nonsense
bullshit going inside.

00:01:03.732 --> 00:01:05.576
- I actually ate the whole
thing, like I enjoyed it.

00:01:05.576 --> 00:01:07.272
- You can't even swallow you have to keep chewing.

00:01:07.272 --> 00:01:09.442
- Well I can taste a lot of gulkand,

00:01:09.442 --> 00:01:10.854
that's a rose petal paste.

00:01:10.854 --> 00:01:12.391
- Why can't they just
get rid of these leaves

00:01:12.391 --> 00:01:13.664
and have the rest of it.

00:01:13.785 --> 00:01:15.555
(playful music continues)

00:01:16.871 --> 00:01:19.449
- This is the paan I
used to get my grandmother.

00:01:19.449 --> 00:01:21.171
(speaks foreign language)

00:01:21.171 --> 00:01:22.389
- Mmm, it's not bad.

00:01:22.389 --> 00:01:24.460
Now I know why it's the
most popular one in India.

00:01:24.544 --> 00:01:26.923
- For a moment there, I let maybe--

00:01:26.923 --> 00:01:29.245
- This is like ass, and that's
the most professional way

00:01:29.245 --> 00:01:30.325
I can describe it.

00:01:30.325 --> 00:01:32.543
- It's just like more and
more slime in my mouth.

00:01:32.543 --> 00:01:34.144
- My whole mouth has become really dry

00:01:34.144 --> 00:01:35.062
after having this.

00:01:35.062 --> 00:01:37.511
- Why am I eating paan that I do not like?

00:01:37.511 --> 00:01:39.090
- Has a really bittter aftertaste.

00:01:39.090 --> 00:01:41.482
- Yea, really bitter, but it's kinda nice.

00:01:41.482 --> 00:01:43.473
(playful music)

00:01:45.244 --> 00:01:48.379
- This is the paan with the tobacco and--

00:01:48.379 --> 00:01:49.656
- The one you spit out.

00:01:49.656 --> 00:01:51.317
- This tastes great.

00:01:51.317 --> 00:01:52.756
- God this is strong.

00:01:52.756 --> 00:01:54.184
- [Voiceover] Did you swallow it?

00:01:54.884 --> 00:01:55.948
(laughter)

00:01:55.948 --> 00:01:57.230
- It's gone now.

00:01:57.230 --> 00:01:59.597
- And like the taste, I don't
think I'm gonna get this taste

00:01:59.597 --> 00:02:00.780
out of my mouth for a while.

00:02:00.780 --> 00:02:01.958
- [Black t-shirt man] Oh my God!

00:02:01.958 --> 00:02:02.713
(spitting sounds)

00:02:02.713 --> 00:02:05.808
- It may be the most famous,
but sorry, it's the worst.

00:02:05.808 --> 00:02:07.224
- God you ate most of it.

00:02:08.834 --> 00:02:11.498
- Let us bring attention to
our fingers for a moment.

00:02:11.498 --> 00:02:12.857
This is what we have done.

00:02:12.857 --> 00:02:15.979
- This kinda made me miss my
dad and all the paan outings.

00:02:15.979 --> 00:02:18.360
- It has to be an acquired taste.

00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:20.053
- The paan was a little chewy,

00:02:21.453 --> 00:02:24.138
but I'm definitely not having paan solo.

00:02:24.138 --> 00:02:25.723
(laughter)
