New Delhi: The 2-minute Maggi noodles is a household name in India, and Indians love this cheap snack that costs not more than Rs 12. Maggi may cost a little more, up to Rs 50, at roadside stalls to satisfy your cravings. But would you pay Rs 193 for a simple Maggi?

A Twitter user named Sejal Sud's post sparked a debate among netizens regarding whether it's acceptable to pay Rs 193 for simple Masala Maggi Noodles or not. She shared the bill from an outlet at Mumbai Airport, where they charged Rs 193 for Masala Maggi Noodles. The bill mentioned that the price of noodles was Rs 184, with a GST of Rs 9.20, including 2.5% SGST and 2.5% CGST, added to the total cost.

 “I just bought Maggi for ₹193 at the airport And I don’t know how to react, why would anyone sell something like Maggi at such an inflated price,” Sejal wrote in the post.
