The nationwide price increase of tomatoes has resulted in the removal of the kitchen essential from the food menu and its soaring price is burning a hole in the pockets of consumers. The price hike has made this everyday item, another costly ‘gold’.

Social media is filled with strange instances related to a sharp increase in tomato increases. Meanwhile, a Twitter user narrated how his sister brought 10kg of tomatoes from Dubai.

While everyone has the desire to get luxurious gifts from Dubai, however, a woman asked her daughter to bring 10kg of tomatoes.

Well, it might sound bizarre, but by going with the price of the tomatoes, it doesn’t sound untrue anymore. A Twitter user shared the story about his mother and sister that has gone viral.

Taking to Twitter, he wrote, “My sister is coming to India from Dubai for her children's summer holidays and she asked my mum if she wanted anything from Dubai and my mother said bring 10 kilos of tomatoes. 😑😑 And so now she has packed 10kg tomatoes in a suitcase and sent it. I mean.......”

Since being shared on Twitter, the post has garnered hilarious responses from social media users.

A user wrote, “How will she store it? Maybe freeze it?? Can it???? Y’all all eat the same place??? Or do I not know how quickly tomatoes get used???? So many questions??? I was hoarding tomato and its starting to rot I'm cutting around it .”

Another user wrote, “Best daughter award might be going in that direction for these times of inflation.”

“Tomatoes in Dubai cost 5.8-6 AED/kg - ~₹130/kg. In Chennai, depending on the quality you can get tomatoes between ₹125-135. I think your mother was being nice and being funny. We are not adding the ₹10k one way flight OR the fact that Dubai imports tomatoes from India,” wrote another user.
