In his tweet, Mittal shared, stating, “Aaj realize hua that Starbucks is not a coffee chain. It’s a v.high sugar dessert store with laced caffeine … lethal combo."



Since Mittal's tweet, a wave of reactions flooded the comment section, with users sharing their perspectives on the coffee giant. One user drew a parallel, saying, “Likewise McD is not a QSR chain, it's a Real Estate company with stores in every corner of expensive markets in the US."



Another commenter provided a different viewpoint, describing Starbucks as “It's an aesthetic work and date venue which also seeks caffeine-flavored sugar drinks."



A third user highlighted the brand's status in India, mentioning, “Starbucks is also just a status symbol in India, unlike abroad where their prices are on par with other coffee shops. Also, I just find their coffee quite burnt in taste."
