Restaurant In Bengaluru Creates Cocktail Inspired By Varthur Lake Pollution, Internet Is ROFL
It is not uncommon to name drinks after places; for example, some of the most popular cocktails, such as the Moscow Mule and Cape Codder, are named after cities.?
What is Varthur lake known for?
Recently, a Bengaluru restaurant named a drink after the city's famous lake. However, the lake in issue is well-known for its high levels of contamination.?
Varthur Lake is also well-known for overflowing following heavy rains because the government's desiltation work was inadequate. Varthur Lake made headlines in 2023 when 25,000 dead fish appeared on its surface due to heavy contamination.
Who shared the unusual cocktail on the internet?
On Sunday, Arnav Gupta, an X user, uploaded a snapshot of the drink with the caption, "Bangalore Oota Company has a drink called "Varthur Overflow," which is a play on the Varthur Lake pollution problem. This city will literally generate memes to the point of parody drinks rather than fix itself."?
In a subsequent tweet, Gupta clarified that the restaurant was Oota Whitefield.
How did people on the internet react?
This post quickly gained over 45,000 views. An X user commented on it, saying, "You gotta say it's evocative." The color of the ocean, the windswept foam, and the overburdened bridge. "It's completely accurate."?
Another individual interpreted the drink as a subtle attempt to raise awareness about the lake's poor health and commented, "But it serves as a fantastic reminder to the powerful people who consume it. I believe it's the subtle art of persuasion.?
Someone more mentioned Bengaluru's water deficit and remarked, "On a lighter note, wanna see what drink they'll make to commemorate the water shortage in the city."?
