Bengaluru, India’s tech hub, is known for its love for innovation. The Bengaluru city has once again proved its penchant for the unconventional with the recent viral sensation: an automatic pani puri vending machine.
Located in the bustling HSR Layout, ‘What The Flavors’ has taken the internet by storm with its unique concept. The machine allows customers to customize their pani puri experience by selecting different flavored water from various options. A social media post showcasing the machine has garnered significant attention, sparking discussions about hygiene, food safety, and the future of street food.
How it works:
- Customers select a plate of pre-filled puris.
- They then choose their preferred water flavor from the machine’s taps.
- Sensors dispense the chosen water into the puri.
While the machine promises a hygienic and personalized experience, concerns about food safety remain. A recent study by Karnataka’s food safety officials found that a significant number of street food samples, including pani puri, contained harmful substances. This highlights the need for strict regulations and monitoring in the food industry.
