Do you know suddenly why India's toffees are the toast of the town?

Melody khao khud jaan jao...

Ever since Prime Minister Narendra Modi gifted Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni a bag of Parle Products's 1983-introduced Melody toffees, Indian confectionery is trending and everyone is asking each other if Meloni figured out why Melody itni chocolatey kyon hai??

Before Modi's expedition to Rome, according to a report by Moneycontrol, India's confectionery exports have seen a remarkable rise in recent years, with Italy emerging as one of the surprising new markets for Indian toffees after the pandemic.

The largest importers of Indian toffees are Saudi Arabia, Benin, the UAE, Nepal, Nigeria and then Italy. The Saudis pick up $2.8 million of Indian toffees yearly.
