The Swiggy Instamart's response certainly caused a stir on Twitter, with some finding it amusing, while others seized the opportunity to troll the company. One user questioned Swiggy about their pricing strategy, asking how much they would charge for cooked Maggi. Another user expressed skepticism, wondering why Swiggy sold it for ₹14 when it can be bought for ₹10 elsewhere.

The debate extended to delivery charges, with one user complaining about handling fees, delivery charges, and the condition of the product received. Another user simply asked about the cost of delivery.

The entire discussion stemmed from a tweet by Sejal Sud, who shared a receipt indicating that Maggi noodles were being sold for a staggering ₹193 at an unidentified airport. Sejal expressed her disappointment and confusion over such inflated pricing, prompting others to criticize the practice and call for regulatory intervention.

In response to the high prices, one user highlighted that even in Indigo flights, Maggi was selling for ₹250, suggesting that authorities should impose price caps to protect consumers from such pocket-pinching and hunger-inducing practices.
