When The Country Drowned Their Maggi-Ban Sorrows in Some Hilarious (And Some Ridiculous) Puns

on

When the government banned Maggi, they not only took down the country’s most loved instant noodle but also the people’s favorite snack, the students’ midnight study buddy and almost every single workaholics staple meal. The country in a state of shock and misery resorted to the one and only outlet of their grief – social media. Right from WhatsApp, to Twitter, to Facebook the Maggi widows cried their hearts out. But soon the mourning turned in to laughter, and now the Internet is flooded with Maggi puns, jokes, videos and tweets. We’ve brought together some of the funniest – and some of the most ridiculous – ones that will surely crack you up.

All jokes and puns apart, we love Maggi – even if we have to say ‘Meri Lead Wali Maggi’, we are all for it. And this last image just brought tears to our eyes. Like Monica and Rachel had said, “It’s like the end of an era!” We couldn’t agree more.
