As the price of onions has been increasing, it remains a news item every day.

Onion is a common kitchen item in Indian cuisine and people are facing several troubles in buying onions due to their soaring prices.

Recently, Abhibus.com announced an offer to their customers who will book tickets until December 15.

The offer has some options to choose their prize among certain items while booking tickets on the platform. Onions are one among them. Other prizes include an all-expenses-paid trip to Goa, an iPhone, e-bike etc.

Surprisingly, more than 54 per cent of customers chose onions as their prize.

Astonished by the option of the customers, the company realized how onions shaped the daily lives of people as customers prefer them over Goa trip and other expensive gifts.
