New Delhi: Food delivery company Zomato has often made headlines for its satirical, witty and creative tweets. Recently, the app once again made the netizens laugh with their tweet for a lady named Ankita who, as per the tweet, is from Bhopal.
In the viral tweet, Zomato requested the lady not to send food to her ex-boyfriend thrice a day. The hilarious tweet further mentioned that the food was being ordered in cash on delivery but the customer (Ankita’s ex) was refusing to pay for the same.
Have a look at the tweet here
Ankita from Bhopal please stop sending food to your ex on cash on delivery. This is the 3rd time – he is refusing to pay!

Zomato’s tweet for Ankita went viral within hours and made the netizens curious for more details about the incident.
While some claimed that Anikta is actually a real person, others speculated that she must have been a fictional character introduced by the app as a part of their marketing programme. Whatever it may be, the viral tweet for sure triggered a meme fest and gave the internet a much-needed laugh.
Netizens react
One internet user wrote, “This is not done Zomato, give her a break.” Another laughed saying, “Ankita’s ex must feel like he’s caught in an infinite loop of hunger and heartbreak, a COD cycle that never ends!”

A third comment read, “This should be a national debate. Sending food to your ex and expecting to pay is a waste of food and money.”

Let’s stand together with all X on a platform named ,”X”.
Can we call tweets formally as ” exed”??

One Twitter user even went suggesting the food delivery giant to launch a Slap delivery service saying, “It’s okay, Zomato. Consider launching a new service called ‘Deliver a Slap.’ I hope this initiative could be beneficial.”
