Recently, Twitter has been witnessing playful brand trolling by the biggest brands in the country.
After the Amazon-Flipkart troll, Snapdeal-Freecharge troll, Amazon has come back with a wittier troll, and we sure are loving it.
Amazon India recently launched a campaign #AurDikhao. On Friday, Amazon India put out a funny tweet commenting on the number of times Zomato has changed its logo.
.@Zomato Loved all the logos you used in the last 6 months. Was #AurDikhao the brief to your designer? :)

In a fitting reply, Zomato replied to Amazon India in this manner:
.@amazonIN You should've seen the ones that didn't make the cut ;) pic.twitter.com/dcoKDh68ZW

While creative teams of both the organisations may have won the battle equally, Amazon India took it further.
@Zomato That put a smile on our face ;) pic.twitter.com/rx4XcT7svj

Official Twitter pages of many companies including Ebay and Jaguar India tried to be part of this hilarious conversation. But our personal favourite were from FlatChat and UrbanLadder. Check out what they tweeted:
.@amazonIN @Zomato Aww! Get a room you two! If you can't find one, download Flatchat and we'll help you find one ;) pic.twitter.com/n67a3pDw7H

Earlier this week, a man on Twitter asked Olacabs about choosing drivers on the basis of religion, and Olacabs responded befittingly saying they do not discriminate on the basis of religion. This reply garnered them support from rivals EasyCab and Uber on Twitter. Over a month ago, a picture was put up on Twitter by a Reddit user where a Flipkart office showed Amazon carton lying around. While Flipkart replied saying it was being used as a 'dustbin', Amazon said:
@redditindia There is a bit of Amazon in every eCommerce company. #justsaying

@amazonIN @redditindia We'll drink to that. o/\o

We call Amazon-Zomato brand trolling on Twitter as our favourite!
