“Please…” Pune People Don’t Miss! D-Mart’s Quirky Sign Goes Viral, Leaves Internet in Splits
“Please...” Pune People Don’t Miss! D-Mart’s Quirky Sign Goes Viral, Leaves Internet in Splits
A sign spotted at a D-Mart outlet has gone viral for all the right reasons — sharp wit, dry humor, and a no-nonsense message that’s hard to ignore. While the exact location of the video isn’t confirmed, many believe it’s from Pune, thanks to the familiar tone of sarcasm. The sign has quickly made the rounds on social media, sparking laughter and plenty of relatable reactions online.
D-Mart Joins the ‘Puneri Patya’ Club?
In the now-viral video, shared on Instagram by the account @drive_trendy, a simple board is seen inside a D-Mart store. But it’s not what’s written that shocks people — it’s how it’s written. The message reads:
“Please do not eat sugar and peanuts.”
At first glance, it may sound like a basic instruction. But if you’ve ever shopped for loose groceries, especially in Indian supermarkets, you’ll know exactly why this sign exists. Items like sugar and peanuts are often kept in open bins — and let’s be honest — many shoppers can’t resist sneakily sampling a little. D-Mart clearly decided they’d had enough of that.
The Instagram caption sums it up perfectly:
“Free sugar and peanuts — finally, D-Mart figured it out.”
And apparently, they did. The video has crossed 419,000 views, and counting.
As expected, the internet did not disappoint when it came to sharing opinions. Social media users flooded the comments section with their take on this hilariously strict notice.
One user wrote, “Come on, it’s a science!” — poking fun at the unofficial Indian tradition of ‘taste-testing’ groceries. Another quipped, “Such a massive retail chain, and this is the sign? Even the local grocer wouldn’t say this!”
Some even got philosophical about it. “Farmers are more generous — they actually tell you to eat,” said one commenter, while another asked the golden question: “When is D-Mart keeping almonds and cashews for testing?”
Whether or not D-Mart officially intended this as a Puneri-style statement, the internet has already claimed it as one. The sign may be small, but it says a lot — about how brands are beginning to adopt humor, even while laying down the law. And in this case, it’s humor with a sharp Puneri edge. Reaching out to ‘taste’ something before you buy? Somewhere in Pune, a sign might already be watching you… silently judging.
