A hug is universally viewed as a form of showing affection to those close to you. Ever wondered what would happen if you started giving the same amount of attention to random strangers?

The producers of this video go around the world picking hugs. Andrew Hales and sister Jacqueline Hales filmed this clip in august, in Venice Beach, Los Angeles.

A lot of the people that received free hugs accepted them without asking any questions. One man was so pleased, he even offered Hales a bite from his burger.

A few ducked the hug, or simply ignored these strangers coming up to them, arms wide open. Some just responded with a “no” to the unusual display of affection.

This video is bound to cheer you up and give you a worm fuzzy feeling. As one user said, “We need this everywhere, at all times.”
