' ₹5 Lakh Father's Day Cake' Trends On X: 'Beta, Isse Toh 2BHK Ka Down Payment Ho Jaata'

(MENAFN- Live Mint) As Father's Day nears, children across the globe are brainstorming unique ways to celebrate the occasion-and one of the sweetest gestures remains surprising dad with a cake. However, a rather expensive cake has caught the internet's attention. With two days still to go until the celebration on Sunday, a Father's Day special“hazelnut chocolate cake priced at ₹5 lakh” is trending on X (formerly Twitter), sparking widespread amusement and disbelief.

A screenshot now going viral on social media appears to be from a food delivery or e-commerce platform. It displays a selection of Father's Day-themed cakes from a bakery, with options to choose between Veg/Non-Veg and features to sort or filter items. Among the cakes listed, one has stood out-for all the wrong reasons:

"Father's Day Special Hazelnut Chocolate Cake (500gm)

Price: ₹5,00,000 (likely a typo or technical glitch)

Note: The product description humorously reads, "Your dad wouldn't want you spending a sin..."-perhaps poking fun at the absurdly high price.

The other cakes listed are more reasonably priced:

Father's Day Special Butterscotch Cake (500gm)

Price: ₹499

Rating: 4.1 (1.1k reviews)

Description: Soft vanilla sponge cake layered with butterscotch.

Father's Day Special Red Velvet Cake (500gm)

Price: ₹599

Rating: 4.3 (933 reviews)

Description: Soft and rich red velvet cake with cream cheese".

All the cakes include a "Happy Father's Day" topper and an "Add" button for ordering. Despite the clearly erroneous price tag on the hazelnut cake, the image has gone viral and triggered a flood of hilarious responses online. While it's unclear whether the screenshot is authentic or digitally manipulated, the responses have been priceless.

Some of the top reactions include:

A user wrote: "Dad's reaction after seeing the cake: 'Son, that could've been a down payment for a 2BHK flat!' 😅 #5LakhCake."

Another wrote: "This is seriously suspicious-you all really need to check this out."

A third user said: "Everyone's talking about it. Few can afford it. And fewer can forget it. The viral sensation: #5LakhCake."

Another said: "Dad took a bite and said: 'It's good... but the price gave me indigestion!'

As the cake continues to trend, it seems like this Father's Day might just be remembered more for a pricing glitch than for gifts or heartfelt messages.
