The video of Prime Minister Narendra Modi presenting Italian counterpart Giorgia Meloni with a pack of Melody toffees has taken social media by storm. This light-hearted moment between the two leaders has garnered over 100 million views, sparking widespread online discussions. The exchange, where PM Modi described the toffees as ‘very very good,’ quickly went viral, capturing global attention and dominating social media trends.
The viral ‘melody toffee’ moment not only captured netizens’ hearts but also led to a surge in interest around brands like ‘Parle’ and ‘Melody,’ making them top searches on platforms like Google. Despite the surge in Parle Industries’ stock price following the video, it’s important to note that the company does not produce Melody chocolates. The actual manufacturer of Melody chocolates is Parle Products, an unlisted company known for its confectionery, chocolates, biscuits, and poppins.
This light-hearted exchange between PM Modi and the Italian PM occurred just before a significant diplomatic engagement between the two nations. The informal interaction, filled with laughter and camaraderie, was also shared by the Italian PM on her Instagram account, where she expressed gratitude for the thoughtful gesture and the delightful gift from the Indian Prime Minister. In the video, Meloni thanked PM Modi for the ‘very, very good toffee’ and appreciated the kind gesture.
