A video featuring an interesting spin on the popular Indian street meal Gol Gappe (also known as?Pani Puri) has recently gone viral on social media platforms. Instead of the customary acidic and salty components, the video showed chocolate-filled Gol Gappas.
However, rather than satisfying viewers, the unusual mixture has sparked a wave of criticism and dissatisfaction among internet users. This unusual flavour fusion has ignited an internet controversy, with many voicing their dissatisfaction and criticism of the concept.
The video, which soon went viral on social media, shows the process of producing Gol Gappas with a chocolate filling. Instead, the gol gappas are of ice creams, chocolate, and whatnot.? The resulting sweet twist on the popular street dish has received a lot of attention, but not in the way the creators probably expected.
'bhukkkadbawa,' a food blogger page on Instagram, has shared the video. In the clip, you can watch the maker dip the gol gappas fully into the chocolate and then take them out onto a plastic plate. He is then seen adding some sev to the gol gappa. Then comes some filling; he started with Vanilla ice cream, and next comes Strawberry ice cream.?It was time to garnish the gol gappas, and for that, the vendor guy used strawberry syrup; next was chocolate syrup; then again, he added the sev to complete the look.
But the question is, are you up to trying this? Because, according to the comment section, no one is ready to take up this challenge.
The video received a strong negative response from many viewers as it travelled throughout the internet. Traditionalists and food purists expressed their displeasure, claiming that combining chocolate and Gol Gappas damages the authenticity and legacy of the famous street meal. Many people thought this was a gimmick and a needless attempt to cash in on viral phenomena.
It's been quite a time since the video was shared on social media, and till now, it has gotten over 901K views, 15.9K likes, and many comments.
In the comments section, users are just feeling disguised, as gol gappas are not just famous in any city but all over India. So, when a coming video like this surely upsets social media users, their feelings in the comments are their emotions for Gol Gapas.
Some users think this mashup has taken on the reputation of gol gappas, whereas others are just asking why people are doing such things.
