Prabhdeep Singh's remarks have led some social media users to speculate the claim was intended as satire or rage bait

Wait, what?

Apparently, the statement triggered massive criticism from social media users — many of whom raised concerns about food safety and hygiene.

What did Prabhdeep Singh claim?

In the now-viral video, Singh said he works at a sugar mill that supplies sugar across Canada. He then made the controversial claim that he regularly walks through the sugar bare feet.

Meanwhile, the video appears to have been posted in response to a separate controversy involving a person who faced backlash for placing his feet on a table at a Tim Hortons outlet in Canada.

Referring to that incident, Singh appeared to divert attention to his own claim, saying, “Here you go, talk about this one; this one is the worst. Let him live.”

His remarks have led some social media users to speculate that the sugar-mill claim was intended as satire or rage bait rather than a genuine account of his workplace conduct.

The video was also circulated by the Instagram account 6ixnewzz with the caption: “Indian Man Says He Walks Through Sugar With Bare Feet While Working At Canadian Sugar Mill.”

Netizens react:

A user wrote, “Can someone that recognize him please report him to the company he works for.” Another commented, “You don't put your feet where people eat. It’s just that simple- don’t defend the coffee guy.”

A third asked: “Does he actually mean it, or is it something that he is saying to take the attention away from the Tim Hortons thing?” Another reacted, “Why do I feel the man is rage baiting Canada?”
