Bizarre food combinations often lead to heated debates on social media. While some people favour experimental creations, others strongly defend the traditional versions. There is no right or wrong answer - just a clash of foodie opinions. These viral debates often involve popular food items, and their beloved status adds fuel to the fire. Recently, one such discussion featuring two famous treats - chai (Indian tea) and Maggi (a well-known brand of instant noodles) took X by storm. The viral post has received a lot of attention online.

Swiggy, the popular food delivery platform, posted two photos with these food items. One of them shows the noodles on a plate kept beside a mug of tea. The other shows the noodles inside the mug! The caption simply read, "Maggi with chai or Maggi in chai?"

That's not a snack, that's a forbidden romance - hot, messy, and meant to leave your stomach in absolute chaos.— Rajesh Kumar (@somsschool) March 7, 2025

Some might call it creativity; I call it food wastage.@Swiggy, do you realise that whatever brands and influencers post on social media, even for fun, it has the potential of getting imitated by the followers?
