A new reel that has taken the internet by storm is the new Maggi video, where an Instagram user uses a new kind of product in which the Maggi is stored in a small capsule. The video has been baffling users, while some have already taken to social media platforms to ask where they can get their hands on this new product.
The video claims that Maggi can now be prepared in just 30 seconds, and all a person has to do is drop the pill into boiling water and wait. The first video that went viral was when the user “@adityasoni01” prepared a bowl full of steaming Maggi by only dropping the said capsule into boiling water. Another user, “@mehaklalwaniart,” shared a similar clip claiming that she had purchased the capsule through Blinkit.

Is it real or fake?
No matter how convincing these reels may look, none of these reels is true, at least so far. The videos have been created using AI tools, and the visuals of Maggi being prepared from a pill are entirely fabricated. To ensure that netizens were not misinformed, Maggi jumped in to comment under a post that said, “Pls don't celebrate April Fool's Day in other months.” Even though Nestle India has reacted on the viral reels, they have still been racking up significant numbers on social media. The possibility of such an invention seems to be real since there already are cup noodles that just need warm water to get ready.
