Eggs and strawberries aren't usually found in the same pan, but one inventive street food seller is challenging that notion. His latest creation? Scrambled eggs cooked with a fizzy, fruity energy drink-and the video is going viral on Instagram. The clip begins with the vendor heating a pan and pouring in Sting Energy, a popular carbonated drink. He then cracks four eggs into the pan, stirring them gently until they form a smooth, thick mixture. Next, he seasons the scramble with salt to taste and adds chopped green chillies and onions.
As the cooking continues, he pours in more energy drink and mixes in juicy tomatoes and fragrant coriander leaves before letting the dish cook through. And that's it - the strawberry-flavoured scrambled eggs are ready to savour. The caption alongside the video reads: "India's Most Surprising Strawberry Scrambled Eggs!" It also reveals the dish's location in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, and that it's priced at Rs 150.

That's all I see and understand." "Did you eat that?" asked another user. Echoing the same sentiment, someone commented, "I still don't understand why they do this." Another exclaimed, "Does the seller taste their food beforehand?" One person claimed they experienced diarrhea after eating the strawberry scrambled eggs, while many others suggested it could cause indigestion. A few even posted GIFs and stickers, including one that read "Fatality."
