There are many reasons behind the popularity of the street food. The most important reason behind its popularity is that it represents the tradition of Punjabi culture. This street food is widely seen on the cultural and traditional parties and food stalls as well. The taste of the gool gappas has no bounds. It is tastier than any other street food.

Another reason behind the popularity of Gool Gappas is the sour water that is combined with this food. People also like the sour taste of the water and also the spicy gool gappas very much.
