A viral video showing a variety of candies and snacks with names that are very similar to the names of global brands has taken the internet by storm. The reel shared by Instagram user @faisaltreshah has garnered over 6 million views so far. He claims that these treats are from Pakistan and lists them one by one. At the beginning of the video, he says (off camera) “Snacks in Pakistan are fun.” He then shows several items, including products named “Smart Beans, Fiery Rose, Bunty & Beans (B&B), Tic Tacs, Mass Bar, Snookers.” The last item called “Bunty” made the Instagram user laugh out loud.

In the comments, many users were overjoyed with the names of these chocolates and snacks. Some claimed they had never seen such things in Pakistan. Others indicated they might be more curious to try these ‘local’ versions. Check out some reactions from Instagram below:
“How dare you! Bunty is my uncle’s name.”
“Mess made me laugh but snookers made me laugh.”
“The game started with Ferry Rose.”
“Bunty also needs his Babli.”
“Bunty and Beans took me out.”
“Is it wrong that I want to try them all?”
“After seeing these names, I once forgot the real names.”
“And I thought creativity died with 10 variants of Bisleri! – Bilseri, Bisleri and so on!”
“I noticed they named it after their pronunciation, and the name for Kit Kat is reversed.”
“No Israeli products … we are producing our own.”
Earlier, an ex post showed a ‘misnamed’ Bisleri bottle which took the internet by storm. It had a typical aqua-coloured label associated with the famous brand Bisleri. However, it had the word “Bestie” written on it. Even the choice of font seems to be slightly similar to the popular bottled water brand. Click here to read the full story.
