    Call it what you want – gol gappa, paani puri, phuchka or the like, this street-side snack is a favorite for many across the subcontinent. But the beloved snack often ends up being the subject of many food experiments.

    For example, a video posted on twitter by a food blogger shows how a good old gol gappa is now being made into ice-cream.

    Goll-Gappay is everyone’s favorite street food and if you are not a gol –gappa or pani puri fan, we think you’ve never had one. After shopping in busy markets, Goll-Gappay is the first thing in every person mind. But the standard sweet and sour Goll- Gappay is being usurped by ice cream goll-gappay.

    The video went viral on social media after being shared by an Indian channel. After the video went viral social media users are saying NO to this rather horrible combination.

    What are your thoughts on this food fusion? Pass or fail?

  • The weirdest, most hilarious bridal entrances we have seen in Pakistani weddings

    If Pakistanis love anything more than screaming “Is this the Islamic Republic of Pakistan?!”, it is spending lavishly at weddings in a contest to prove who has the most wealth.
    From the past three months of the wedding season currently storming throughout the country, one of the most hilarious and essential elements of this event is the bridal entry, which has a specific song and décor set according to the bride’s wishes. Because of this we have gotten some hilarious and creative outtakes we would love to share with our audience.

    Like this one where apparently the symbolism should be that she is music???

    Literally no comment.

    Apparently the song encouraging the rise of the proletariat is literally what fits the theme of a big fat Lahori wedding

    https://twitter.com/itsallbakwass/status/1623771647906918403?s=20

    And if we analyze the metaphorical meaning of this entrance: it is to symbolize the growing rise of how much $1 will cost in Pakistan

    https://twitter.com/saihan_io/status/1609845399367344128?s=20

    PLEASE SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO US KAY YE KYA HO RAHA HAI

    *Reads Forty Rules of Love once*

    Maybe Tom Cruise should take notes on what an entrance for the next Mission Impossible movie should look like
