The picture was uploaded on Twitter by the user @monyeeart, who shared it with a funny caption showing her love for the condiment. The post went viral on Twitter garnering nearly 330k likes and over 66k retweets. Thousands of users shared their surprise at the humongous cloves of garlic, saying that there was no such thing as too much garlic.
