Some foods are deeply etched in our childhood memories, and one such product is 'Parle-G' biscuits. It is, therefore, not shocking to see the internet's reaction on social media when pictures and videos of a speculated new 'Dark Parle-G' went viral. The two 'Dark Parle-G' pictures were first posted on X by a user with the handle @CoconutShawarma. The caption read, "What's Dark Parle-G now." In the pictures, we can see a packet of 'Dark Parle-G' biscuits by 'Parle' with the same iconic 'Parle-G' girl on it. The tagline reads, "Delicious Chocolaty Dark Parle-G Biscuits."
In the second picture, you can also see two dark-coloured Parle-G biscuits placed next to the pack. The design looks the same as the original Parle-G biscuits, and the only change is the colour and apparent flavour.

The post has received more than 1 million views, and internet users are speculating whether this new product is genuine or if the pictures are AI-generated. There has been no official confirmation by Parle on their website or social media handles.
NDTV reached out to Parle, and so far, there has been no response.
According to @CoconutShawarma, the pictures have been shared by a friend from Pune. ["Online ka link nahi hai, pune wala friend ne bheja hai photos"]
