(MENAFN- Live Mint) A recent video from Swiggy , the popular food delivery platform, humorously captures a common Diwali sentiment: 'Soan Papdi isn't exactly everyone's favourite treat'.
The video shared on Instagram and quickly going viral, shows delivery partners preparing Diwali orders, eagerly packing festive items like laddus, sheera, namkeen, dry fruits, and even crackers-but skipping over the traditional Soan Papdi box, hinting at its usual lack of demand.
However, netizens argued that Soan Papdi is being unfairly treated, and many of them said it still remains the top favourite during the festival season.
One said,“Yaar esay mt kro soan papdi ke sath ❤️ achi toh lgti hein.”“i like soan papdi,” another commented.
One of the Instagram users who watched the video commented,“Don't dare to defame Sonpapadi. It's love.” Another agreed with this statement and wrote,“Oye Admin, soan papdi ko kuch mat bol.”
