As is often the case with trending events, the beloved dairy brand Amul seized the opportunity to comment on the situation through its signature topical illustration. The new artwork features the iconic Amul girl holding a microphone in front of a large computer screen displaying an image resembling Chris Martin, the lead vocalist of Coldplay. The illustration captures her in a state of shock and concern, pointing at the words “Sold Out” visible on the screen.

Additionally, the illustration references one of Coldplay’s most popular songs, rounding off the playful commentary. At the bottom, the tagline invites viewers to indulge with the words, “Amul. Fix You a snack?”
