A barter system which was popular in ancient times is basically a process in which there is an exchange of goods or services without the use of money.
A video, which has been recently shared by a food YouTuber Vishal went viral in which a man was spotted using a similar ancient barter system and selling kids' most lovable sweet cotton candy or 'Budhiya ke baal' in exchange for human hairs.
Visuals show kids lining up in front of the street vendor’s bicycles with a handful of hair.
He accepts the hair and gives them pink cotton candy in exchange!
A boy in the video has been heard saying that he had brought hair that had fallen from his mother’s head.
The video hit more than 80k views and garnered thousands of likes.
The amount of candy given to people is directly proportional to the amount of hair donated.
According to the sources, the vendor then collects the hair and sells it for a price of Rs 3,000 per kg to wig-makers.
