The internet recently found itself in fits of laughter after a photo of an Indian broom adorned with a “nutrition facts” label went viral on Reddit. Typically packaged without any embellishments, these brooms are now featuring labels listing calories, fat content, and other nutritional information usually seen on food products. This bizarre combination of a cleaning tool and a nutrition label has captivated many, leading to a flurry of humorous comments and memes.
The label, which includes detailed information ranging from calories to dietary fiber, left people jokingly wondering if the brooms were meant to be consumed. This quirky packaging error has transformed a mundane household item into a viral sensation.
Upon closer inspection, the “nutrition facts” indicate that the intended product is likely a snack chip made from yellow stone ground corn. Ingredients such as canola oil, salt, and a trace of lime (calcium hydroxide) suggest it is a savory, crunchy snack similar to tortilla chips or nachos. The product is manufactured by Dominguez Family Enterprises, known for Juantonio’s Snacks, particularly their “Tortilla Chips 15oz bag.”
The mix-up has led to a slew of witty remarks and jokes from social media users, especially in India. Some of the amusing comments include:
- “Isliye mujhe jhaadu se pitne ke baad, burger ki bhookh lagti hai,” translating to “That’s why I feel hungry for a burger after getting hit by a broom.”
- “Not enough protein, wouldn’t recommend.”
- “Acha tou Indian mothers ese bchO ka khyaal rakhti thi! Calories de kr (So, that’s how Indian mothers took care of their children, by giving these calories to them).”
- “Tune bachpan me khaaye nahi?? (Didn’t you have this in your childhood?)”
- “Accha ab samjha kaise mere daily nutritional requirements puri ho rahi hai,” meaning “Now I understand how my daily nutritional requirements are being met.”
This humorous incident highlights how a simple packaging mistake can provide much-needed comic relief and entertain people worldwide.
