Online food delivery giant Swiggy recently set the internet ablaze, but not in a way it might have hoped. The company's official social media account shared a picture that left netizens bewildered, amused, and utterly furious.
The Culinary Crime That Broke The Internet
The now-infamous post featured a simple, yet shocking, culinary creation: a plate of plain white rice topped with a generous scoop of melting chocolate ice cream. Swiggy sarcastically captioned this combination as the "best dessert," reportedly drawing inspiration from the Filipino concept of "dirty ice cream." Instead of delight, the image triggered a wave of confusion and outrage across social media platforms.
Netizens Demand Justice and Jail Time
The reaction from Indian social media users was swift and severe. Many were so irked by the bizarre food trend that they demanded immediate action against the person behind the post.
One user directly questioned the sanity of the social media manager, asking, "Bhai pagal wagal ho gaya hai kya?" They followed up by demanding to know, "Kisne appoint kiya tujhe social media handle karne ko."
The sentiment escalated quickly, with several users calling for legal consequences. Jokes about a "minimum 17 years jail" for creating such food trends flooded the replies. One user stated plainly, "Admin deserves jail time for this," while another declared the creation should be "censored."
The disgust was palpable. One detailed comment read, "I felt dizzy looking at the photo. I, who washes my hands fifty times while cooking, can’t even imagine eating something like this. Also, what a random mix—at first glance, I thought the ice cream was pureed meat." Another user simply asked, "Asi kya mazburi thi?" (What was the need for this?), and one pleaded, "MAT KAR LALA MAT KAR" (Don't do it, brother, don't).
A Culinary Sin or Just a Joke?
Many viewed the post as a complete abomination. Comments ranged from "Sidha nark jaoge bina gate khole" (You will go straight to hell without the gates opening) to prophecies that "Garud puran me iske liye alag saza likhi jayegi" (A separate punishment will be written for this in the Garud Puran). Users called it "Blasphemy" and a "yuckk!" moment, with one netizen perfectly summarizing the sentiment by saying, "bro unlocked a new way to disappoint god."
However, not everyone took offense. A handful of users saw the lighter side, playfully dubbing the creation "Ricecream." Another joked that "Carbmaxxing has officially entered its final boss phase," acknowledging the ultimate carbohydrate combination.
Despite the divided reactions, one thing is certain: the post was a viral sensation. The controversial dessert picture amassed a staggering 3.4 million views and garnered over 900 replies and reactions, proving that even the most peculiar ideas can capture the internet's attention.
