India’s most popular snack – Maggi ,better known as the two minute noodles have been taken off the shelves in 5 states after the samples showed that the instant noodles contained dangerously high levels of lead and chemical flavor enhancer Monosodium Glutamate (MSG). Nestle ensured its consumers that the product is safe and will be back in the market soon. Even though media has played an important role in warning us about the health hazards of consuming the noodles, our hearts secretly wish that this news is nothing more than a rumour. So here are 8 reasons why we would still want to eat Maggi after the Maggi ban:
