The CEO of Blinkit, Albinder Dhindsa, posted an intriguing overview of New Year's patterns on X.
He said that 2,434 packets of Eno, 45,531 bottles of mineral water, 22,322 PartySmart pills, and 1,22,356 condom packs were being sent by Blinkit. Dhindsa's playful inquiry about if these things were included in the "after-party prep" demonstrated how effective the platform is amid busy celebrations.
For those who are unaware, Himalaya PartySmart is a herbal treatment that reduces acetaldehyde accumulation to treat symptoms like headache and nausea, hence preventing hangovers.
However, the social media users who were looking for further information were not satisfied with Dhindsa's post.
Could you provide a % breakdown by condom flavor and type? It would be fascinating to observe," a user said.
"Pls give a breakup of Brands so we get Market data on what's selling," another person said.
Other users asked other questions.
One person questioned, "So party in this new age equals sex?" Another pondered, "Why are all the rapid commerce accounts discussing condom sales numbers? to encourage sexual safety?"
"Condom sales is much less? So any population outbreak coming next year?" posted a curious user.
New Year 2025: Update from Swiggy
Swiggy earlier posted, "kisi ne calcutta biryani mangwayi hai aur instructions mein daala hai no aloo. bhai fir lucknow biryani mangwata na (Someone ordered calcutta biryani and added "no potato" in the instructions. Brother, then why not just order lucknow biryani instead?)"
Swiggy CEO Rohit Kapoor reacted to it and wrote, "Tum log ladte raho (You guys keep fighting), but guess what? Bengaluru is topping the charts for biryani orders aur woh toh Hyderabadi biryani order kar rahe hain (and they're ordering Hyderabadi biryani!)."
