Maggi to be back! Mixed reactions on Twitter

As the Bombay High Court lifted the ban on Nestle's flagship instant noodle brand Maggi, micro-blogging website Twitter went abuzz with mixed reactions from people.

For some, it was a reason to rejoice and look forward to seeing their favourite noodles back on the shelves, while for others, it seemed the magic of Maggi had got lost.

A Twitter user named Saima highlighted the popularity of the popular brand among students living in hostels.

"#Maggi ban lifted Party time for hostelide students only meal of Midnight Hunger in hostels ???", she wrote.

Another user wrote: "#Maggi is back !!! All Indian girls can add 'Love cooking' on their resumes again".

In a contrasting reaction, a user named KC wrote: "Sorry #Maggi, But I am actually over you."

From the film fraternity, writer-director Shirish Kunder took a sarcastic jibe on the ban with his tweet.

"#Maggi ban lifted. Blow to 'Patanjali noodles' that was about to be launched," he wrote.

Screenwriter Milap Zaveri, who is known for films like "Masti" and "Heyy Babyy", was ecstatic with the lifting of the ban, and wrote: "#Maggie ban cancelled by high court! Life mein "Masala" will be back!"

Another user named Nigel urged the government to check the content of food.

"I miss #Maggi but government really needs to check what companies put in our food," he wrote.

After the news of the ban on Maggi being lifted surfaced online, the hashtag #Maggi trended on Twitter.

The relief for Maggi came following a petition filed by Nestle India, challenging the withdrawal and recall order of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).

The food safety watchdog had passed its orders on June 5, following which Nestle had withdrawn Maggi from the market.
