Achaar, a popular South Asian condiment, has the power to enhance the flavours of food. Made from various fruits and vegetables preserved in brine, oil, and spices, pickles hold a special place in the hearts of many food lovers. But carrying it while travelling or shipping it to loved ones can be a bit messy, right? A hilarious video going viral on social media shows how to prevent spills despite its oily ingredients. The clip opens with a woman unboxing a large tin of achaar, heavily wrapped in tape. She can be seen using a knife to cut through the thick layers of tape around the pickle jar. The note overlaying the video reflects the typical way desis pack anything containing oil for travel. It read, “POV: Unboxing that one achaar tin your dad packed... be like.”

After cutting through the tape and newspapers, she opened a plastic packet. This was followed by another layer of newspaper wrapped with tape, leading to yet another plastic packet. Then came an extensive layer around the well-wrapped tin of achaar. Not only this – there were several more layers of polythene packets until the final moment of joy.
The final stage of unboxing felt like an achievement for the woman. Standing near her kitchen sink, she held the oily pickle jar like a trophy, clearly relieved and amused. The excessive packaging also highlighted the care and thoroughness with which a father ensures nothing spills during shipping. The video was captioned with a hilarious note that read, “Thought it would never end.”
