Diwali Bonus Ya Diwali Bomb?

Har saal Diwali ka season aate hi Soan Papdi boxes multiply hote hain jaise WhatsApp forwards. Koi mangta nahi lekin phir bhi sabko milta hai. Is baar ek factory ne socha — “bonus kyun dena jab hum sweets de sakte hain?” Aur bas, yehi soch ban gayi sweet disaster.

Workers ko mila shiny gold dabba instead of cash — aur phir hua Soan Papdi Mutiny 2025. Staff ne un dabbo ko aise phenk diya jaise Olympics chal raha ho — “Discus Throw: Mithai Edition.” Gate ke bahar line lagi rebel re-gifting ki.

Internet Bola: Enough Is Enough

X pe ek user likha, “Har saal 5 log Soan Papdi dete hain, main 6 ko return karta hoon.” Dusra bola, “At least company ne kuch diya — humare yahan toh holiday bhi bonus lagti hai.”

Memes phat rahe the, aur Soan Papdi phir se trend kar raha tha — sweet kam, survivor zyada.

Boing Verdict: Nation Wants Cash, Not Confection

Ab toh Soan Papdi ek snack nahi, social commentary ban chuka hai. Ek desh jahan re-gifting Olympic sport hai, wahan yeh mutiny deserves a medal for honesty. Soan Papdi may not melt in your mouth, but this story melted our hearts — Boing Hall of Fame entry, confirmed.
