Indian food aggregator Swiggy took to social media has posted a unique but ubiquitous Periodic Table. Giving a “foodie twist” to the rather mundane chemistry table, Swiggy posted a “Periodic table of snacks”. Writing along with the picture, the company explained that the table might not have been taught in schools but “we bet you know it by heart!”

Much like the original periodic table, Swiggy’s innovative creation codes all food items in various symbols. For instance, Gulab Jamun is coded as Gj , while  Fries is coded as Fr. The table includes snacks from Indian as well as western cuisines. Not only it has special codes for south Indian dishes like Upma and Idli, it also has specific symbols for Sandwiches, Salads and Momos.
