Zomato and Swiggy crash gets memed. Twitter asks, lunch break khatam?
Seems like food delivery apps are also facing mid-week blues as Zomato and Swiggy crashed for users across India on April 6... albeit for a little while. But those few minutes were enough to send Internet into a meltdown. Users were unable to refresh their app feed and order food during lunch hours.
Several users tweeted pictures of "Something went wrong. Please try again later" messages they received when they tried to access the Zomato app. A technical snag caused by Amazon Web Services was the reason why both Zomato and Swiggy crashed.
And if there is anything Indian users are great at, it is making memes; especially in dire times like these.
Here are 15 memes that will make you laugh out loud:
1. ZOMATO IS SAVING YOU FROM ANY EXTRA CALORIES
Finally #Zomato isn't taking any order today. Ofcourse due to some technical glitch. Bless you, no extra calories today. Lauki khani padegi. ??#swiggy #Zomato
