Commenting on the video, an Instagram user wrote, “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”. People also noted that the bland flavour of avocado will rarely add anything into the paan mix. Echoing this view, an Instagram user wrote, “That avocado ain’t fully ripe it’s tastes really bitter 🤮🤮”. Another person wrote, “Fun fact is the taste didn’t even change with 1%”.

The avocado paan is not the only experimentation with paan that has received negative response online. In April, a food blogging page from Pakistan on Instagram called Mera Apna Punjab (@mera_apna_punjab_official) posted a video of a street vendor preparing a burger paan. Similarly in November 2021, an eatery in Gujarat decided to pair paan with brownie.
