Bengaluru’s hustle culture is often showcased through numerous pictures and videos shared online. One particularly popular trend in the city is the “peak Bengaluru moment,” where users share bizarre and unique daily occurrences. Recently, a Pani Puri vending machine in Bengaluru’s HSR Layout has gone viral, thanks to a user’s post on X (formerly known as Twitter).
This viral post, shared by @benedictgershom, features a Pani Puri stall equipped with a vending machine humorously named “WTF – What The Flavours.” The machine offers multiple taps of flavored water, allowing customers to enjoy a hygienic and customizable Pani Puri experience. The user captioned the post, “HSR living in 2050,” highlighting the futuristic aspect of the stall.

Since being posted two days ago, the tweet has garnered over 100,000 views, with numbers continuing to climb. The unique concept has sparked a variety of reactions from users. One commenter asked, “So that Pani Puri liquid that overflows…does it get recycled or drained?” Another expressed skepticism, saying, “Too clinical, isn’t enticing in my opinion. Can do better if some good visual design is applied.” Yet another user humorously remarked, “Pani Puri tera tauba tauba … Tauba tauba.”
While vending machines and kiosks are not uncommon in Bengaluru, of the “WTF – What The Flavours” stall have captured widespread attention and become an internet hit.
