Pollito Tropical found himself caught in the legendary prank of a Turkish ice cream vendor! The Cuban influencer became the center of a hilarious scene during his trip to Turkey when what seemed like a simple ice cream purchase turned into a comedic spectacle that left his followers laughing uncontrollably.
In a video shared on his Instagram account, the content creator is seen standing in front of a vendor who tests his patience with one of Turkey's most famous ice cream parlor tricks.
Every time Pollito Tropical tries to grab his ice cream, the vendor skillfully snatches it away just before he can touch it. With quick movements, cone swaps, and maneuvers using a long metal stick, the Cuban influencer ends up in a comical showdown.
The vendor undoubtedly makes it a challenge. Just when it seems like Pollito will finally get his ice cream, a new trick prolongs the prank, turning the moment into an amusing tug-of-war.
The video has captured the attention of the influencer's followers, amassing over 475,000 views, 25,000 likes, and hundreds of comments on Instagram.
This type of performance is a well-known tradition in Turkey. Vendors use dondurma, a thick and stretchy ice cream, to perform surprising tricks with customers before eventually handing over their purchase.
Pollito Tropical, whose real name is Randy Álvarez, has become one of the most popular Cuban influencers on social media, where he shares snippets of his daily life, travels, and personal experiences.
In recent months, Álvarez has spoken candidly about his journey and the challenges he has faced. In August, he reminisced about his humble beginnings on social media, sharing that it took him three years to receive his first YouTube payment, which was a mere $300.
Additionally, in September, he publicly apologized for controversial comments about depression and admitted to going through tough times.
This time, however, the Cuban star has captured attention for a much more lighthearted reason: his unique encounter with a Turkish ice cream vendor who wasn’t ready to surrender the treat so easily.
