If you ask a 90s kid what their favorite biscuit is, most of them will answer Parle G, or Parle Glucose. The new-age kids might not know the craze of Parle-G, but the kids born in the 1990s and early 2000s can never stop boasting about how Parle-G is not just a biscuit but an emotion.
Several companies came with their biscuits, but Parle-G is still one of the most popular biscuits in India. Be it college students, young adults, or senior citizens, the Parle-G Biscuit is still the best tea-time snack for many.
Over the years, Parle has not made any changes to the taste of Parle-G biscuits. But these days, pictures of Dark Parle-G are going viral on social media. The picture claims that Parle has released Parle-G biscuits in chocolate flavor.
Dark Parle-G for Real or Fake?
The nostalgia of 90s kids took a surprising turn when a snapshot of the chocolate variant of the classic biscuit, Dark Parle-G, went viral. Resembling the original Parle-G in packaging simplicity, the viral image displayed a white-red-black packet with the text “Delicious chocolate. Dark Parle-G Biscuits.”
Social media erupted with reactions soon after the image spread. While some speculated it to be an AI-generated creation, others expressed skepticism about the notion of ‘dark’ Parle-G. One user likened it to “Oreo from 1980,” while another simply remarked, “Not appealing.”
Netizens wasted no time in crafting memes around this viral sensation. One Twitter user humorously wrote, “When Chai broke up with ParleG, ParleG became dark,” while another echoed grandma’s wisdom with, “Grandma always said, drinking tea makes you dark.”
Despite the buzz, these images lack authenticity, with no mention of Dark Parle-G on Parle’s official website. Even if Parle were to introduce a chocolate-flavored Parle-G biscuit, it seems unlikely to receive a warm reception from consumers.
