The phrase “India is not for beginners” has evolved from a quirky remark into a full-blown internet sensation, often used to caption bizarre and jaw-dropping moments that emerge from the country. The latest episode to take the internet by storm involves an unconventional and questionable hack—using a washing machine to peel potatoes.

A video, which has quickly gone viral, shows a woman standing next to a washing machine, with a metal bowl of unpeeled potatoes placed nearby. She proceeds to add the potatoes into the washing machine’s drum, seemingly attempting to peel them. The unusual method has sparked widespread attention, with users debating its practicality and safety.

Check Out The Viral Video: The video, shared by the account Cinema Madness 24*7 (@CinemaMadness24) on April 6, 2025, quickly gained traction on the platform, drawing comments from both amused and concerned users. The post, which is captioned “India is not for beginners!!!”, showcases an outdoor setting, possibly a balcony or courtyard, with a concrete floor and a hose visible in the background. The visual of potatoes being tossed into a washing machine has ignited a heated discussion across social media.

User Reactions: While some users found the idea of using a washing machine for potato peeling creative, many voiced skepticism and safety concerns. One user, @raajuprince, questioned the authenticity of the peeled potatoes, stating, “Editing look at the peeled patterns,” implying that the image might have been digitally altered. Another user dismissed the idea as impractical, commenting, “Such accurate peeling can’t happen in a washing machine.”

Adding humor to the conversation, one user joked, “Next time add spices, groceries, etc. Maybe it makes dishes. So, it automatically removes peel and saves chopping time also.”

However, some users turned to expert advice. One user asked Grok, “@grok does this practically work?” to which the AI replied, “No, it doesn’t practically work. Using a washing machine to clean potatoes risks contamination from detergent and metal particles, plus it can damage both the potatoes and the machine. Traditional scrubbing under cold water with a brush is safer, more effective, and keeps your spuds clean and ready to eat. Stick to that!”

Despite the concerns, the video continues to capture attention, reflecting the quirky and sometimes outrageous nature of the viral content that defines the phrase “India is not for beginners.”
