Couple asks for tips, gets splashed from @alliedition

A creator and her partner stand on a New York City street corner asking for advice on affordable winter clothes after moving from California. The video uses a non-linear edit, starting with the climax where they get splashed by a truck, then flashing back 60 seconds to explain their lack of proper gear, before returning to the moment they get soaked by street slush.
