Diwali is traditionally a time of gifting, whether between family members, friends, or colleagues. Many companies also join the celebrations by giving gifts to their employees. One of the most iconic Diwali treats in India is soan papdi, a sweet made of gram flour that has long been associated with the festival. However, one such incident involving the gifting of soan papdis took an unexpected turn.

According to a post on X, a factory decided to give its employees boxes of soan papdi instead of a cash bonus for Diwali. The workers, clearly unhappy with the gesture, responded by leaving all the boxes at the factory gate. A video capturing the employees tossing the packets of soan papdi quickly went viral on X, drawing widespread attention and sparking debates online.
