Why? This is the only question you’ll be asking — like many others — after watching a viral video wherein Indians are acting all ‘wild’ in New Jersey.
A simple ‘Parval sale’ left Indians losing it and crowding over the vegetable aisle at a newly opened store. From snatching trollies to carts to them pushing each other to get their hands on the store items – the clip looked extremely chaotic.
Reportedly, the incident unfolded at a newly opened Indian store, which was selling ‘Parval (pointed gourd)’ for just USD 1.99 (Rs 190).
The post was shared on X (formerly Twitter), by the handle ‘jammles9’. It was captioned: “This Indian store had a grand opening in New Jersey and put parvals on sale for 1.99 and it turned into a battle. Be honest, Jersey, is this actually normal?”
Netizens react:
“Only normal on Black Friday. Honestly, this doesn’t bother me; it’s capitalism and those people aren’t stealing the stuff. If they want to waste time fighting over it, who cares? As long as my tax dollars aren’t involved, I don’t care,” a user said.
“It’s the new normal. We’ll overcome or adjust. Hopefully we’ll overcome one day, when we cure suicidal empathy,” added another person.
“I thought it was in my country. We also do such stuff, and this is surely sad. People should always keep in mind some manners. However, the store also knows exactly what it is doing,” a third reacted.
