Surprising your dad with a yummy cake is one of the sweetest ways to celebrate Father’s Day. But what if the cake you choose is priced at a jaw-dropping Rs 5 lakh? Sounds unreal, right? That’s exactly what shocked the internet recently.
Ahead of Father’s Day on June 15, a screenshot from a food delivery app or website has gone viral for listing a Hazelnut Chocolate Cake with an unbelievable price tag. While it’s likely a technical glitch or a simple typo, it didn’t stop social media users from reacting with shock and laughter.
The now-viral screenshot shows a landing page featuring Father’s Day special cakes. Most of the prices look normal — a 500 gm Butterscotch Cake is listed at Rs 400 and a 500 gm Red Velvet Cake is priced at Rs 599. But then comes the surprise: a 500 gm Hazelnut Chocolate Cake marked at Rs 500,000.
The user who posted the image on X (formerly Twitter) added a note that read, “5 lakh Cake. This is a very suspicious thing, so you guys must have to check and have a look at this.”
The post also went viral on Reddit. The tagline read, “I just came across this Father’s Day special cake. Uhm, what is going on???? Since when have we started paying so much for cakes?”.
Here are some of the reactions it received.
“Bro, do not complain. At least they gave you 40 per cent off,” commented a user sarcastically.
“5000 me 5 cakes aajaenge and 5 lakh me 5 iPhone lol (You can get 5 cakes for Rs 5000, but only 5 iPhones for Rs 5 lakh lol),” pointed out another.
One person rationalised the situation, saying, “It is an obvious error.”
“5 lakh me toh mere gaon me puri bakery aa jayegi (For Rs 5 lakh, I could buy an entire bakery in my village!)” joked another.
“80000+ ka delivery charge bhi le rahe hain (They are taking a delivery charge of Rs 8000 also),” read a funny remark.
