Swiggy, the popular food delivery platform, has stirred up a delightful debate with their recent Diwali video. The video, which quickly went viral on Instagram, playfully mocks Soan Papdi, the traditional sweet treat often considered a Diwali staple, hinting at its lack of popularity. The comedic scene shows delivery partners diligently packing festive favorites like laddus, sheera, namkeen, dry fruits, and even crackers, but giving the Soan Papdi box a wide berth – a humorous representation of its perceived unloved status.
However, the internet had a different opinion! Netizens rose to the defense of Soan Papdi, arguing that it remains a beloved sweet during the festive season. Many commented, declaring their love for the sweet, some even calling for the video to not ‘defame’ Soan Papdi. This online backlash transformed the video into a fun discussion about individual Diwali preferences, turning the simple act of skipping a sweet into a humorous and engaging topic.
But wait, there’s more! The video also cleverly reveals a hidden message at the end, ‘Asli patakha toh aap ho’ (You are the real firework), adding a touch of festive cheer and reminding viewers of the true spirit of Diwali.
Meanwhile, the festive season has seen delivery platforms upping their game with exciting offers. Online grocery platforms like Swiggy Instamart, Zomato’s Blinkit, Tata’s Bigbasket, and Zepto are all offering 10-minute deliveries of gold and silver coins for Dhanteras, considered a lucky day for purchasing precious metals.
