In the world of social media trends, there's a new test making waves - the "orange peel theory." According to this viral idea, if your partner peels oranges for you without being asked, it's a sure sign of their love and care. This small act of thoughtfulness is seen as a litmus test for true affection. The concept gained traction online; hilarious memes and witty posts flooded social media platforms, sparking laughter and conversations across the internet. The trend didn't just stop at memes; it birthed online debates and even caught the attention of dairy brand Amul, who shared a quirky topical on the subject.
Now there's a hilarious video going viral on the internet - of an Indian mother sharing her take on the theory. In the video, comedian Aanchal Agrawal introduced the "orange peel theory" to her mother, expecting a lighthearted response. However, her mother's deadpan reaction took the internet by storm. Peeling oranges casually, her mother retorted in a serious tone, "You'll be impressed if anyone peels oranges for you? Is this why we provided you with a good education?" She then handed Aanchal a peeled orange, "Here, I also peeled an orange, what's the big deal?"

"Orange nhi pomegranate"
"Mom raised the bar"
