The post comparing croissant prices at Hyderabad and Zurich airports has gone viral online. Many netizens have shared mixed reactions to the comparison.
One user wrote, “Croissants have always been expensive in India. You can go almost anywhere in Europe and find a croissant for ₹90 to ₹120. It’s their dal chawal. There are so many bakeries, and almost every bakery makes them. In India, it’s still a premium snack.”
Another netizen added, “We need to taste both the croissants before reaching a conclusion.”
One user revealed, “Get a croissant in Bandra and it’s ₹380 + GST.”
Another user commented, “Buying a croissant at a Swiss airport is like buying an idli or a samosa at an Indian airport.”
