Mumbai, Nov 15 (IANS): Reality shows in India number dime a dozen but a Mumbai-based firm has organised one not on television but on the internet where the people will get to vote, of all things, for their best snack.
No brands involved here! The snacks have been placed in seven categories - popcorn, namkeen, samosa, burger, chips, panipuri and "tedhimedi" that includes potato sticks and savouries like Kurkure.
The show runs for 15 days till Nov 29 on most of the popular social networking sites. There will be five rounds of voting and the most loved snack will then be chosen, said Experience Commerce, the organisers.
"Snacks have given you pleasure when you most needed it. They have quelled the fire in your belly at odd hours, comforted you in your worst hour. They have helped you treat friends and satiated your every sense selflessly."
The result will be revealed Nov 29.
"Snacking is a popular pass-time in India. It has its own fan following. We are not associating this show with any brand. It covers popular snacks categories," said Sandip Maiti, chief executive officer of Experience Commerce.
"That's why we have named the show 'India's True Snexy' so that people can understand how popular their favourite snack is. You can cast a vote by visiting www.snexy.in or through facebook, twitter or google+."
During these 15 days, there will be five rounds of voting, each for three days.
"The snack which garners the maximum support, or gets the maximum love, will be declared the winner," Maiti said.
Each of these seven savouries has a huge "snack base" in India. "You can even follow these snacks on their personal facebook profiles. You can also share their photos with friends and ask them to vote for your favourite snack."
