With Father’s Day around the corner, surprising your dad with a cake sounds sweet, unless it’s priced at an eye-popping ₹5 lakh. That’s exactly what happened when a viral screenshot from a food delivery app or website began circulating on social media.
The image, which showcases a list of Father’s Day special cakes, appears to show a 500-gram Hazelnut Chocolate Cake priced at ₹500,000. While other listings seemed normal such as a 500 gm Butterscotch Cake for ₹400 and a 500 gm Red Velvet Cake for ₹599, this cake’s outrageous tag left everyone shocked.

“5 Lakh Cake”: Internet Has a Field Day
The post was first spotted on X (formerly Twitter), where the user flagged the price, saying:
“5 lakh Cake. This is a very suspicious thing, so you guys must have to check and have a look at this.”
The post quickly went viral and was also shared on Reddit, with a user asking:
“I just came across this Father’s Day special cake. Uhm, what is going on???? Since when have we started paying so much for cakes?”
Social Media Users React with Jokes and Memes
Internet users couldn’t resist reacting with humour:
-
“Bro, do not complain. At least they gave you 40 per cent off,” one commented sarcastically.
-
Another said, “5000 me 5 cakes aajaenge and 5 lakh me 5 iPhone lol (You can get 5 cakes for Rs 5000, but only 5 iPhones for Rs 5 lakh lol).”
-
A third user added, “5 lakh me toh mere gaon me puri bakery aa jayegi (For Rs 5 lakh, I could buy an entire bakery in my village!).”
-
And someone noted, “80000+ ka delivery charge bhi le rahe hain (They are taking a delivery charge of ₹8000 also).”
While many believe the listing to be an obvious glitch or typo, the reactions have made the screenshot an unexpected viral moment ahead of the holiday.
