Parle-G is a biscuit brand every Indian is familiar with. The humble 5-rupee packet would always be our go-to snack with a cup of tea, or even by itself. India's top-known glucose biscuit has a huge fan following, which is why; it was no surprise to see the brand registering a growth in overall market share by 5% in the lockdown period. It came as a pleasant surprise to Indian users on Reddit when a citizen of Singapore expressed his love for the biscuit. Take a look at his post:
