Zomato shares ‘shortest horror stories’ on Halloween; netizens laud brand's creativity

Indian multinational restaurant aggregator and food delivery company Zomato always shares memes and creative posts related to current occasions or festivals. This time, the food delivery giant has again rocked the internet with its short horror stories. This time, Zomato has showcased their creativity on Halloween day-- the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts.

Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive gatherings, donning costumes, and more. In its latest post, the food delivery platform too joined in with a few food-related 'horror stories'.

Zomato's Twitter handle is predominately filled with tweets having an interesting touch for appetite and the daily life of the common man. On the occasion of Durga Puja, the food delivering company on a pleasant gesture and with a Bengali touch asked their Twitter followers in Bangla, "Khabar kheye niecho?". The sentence in Bangla translates to "Have you eaten your dinner?". Apparently, Netizens too asked Zomato the same. The post was shared on October 5 by the food delivering company. The post said that Netizens, especially the Bengalis, were charged and enthralled by the Zomato's move, that too just prior to the holy occasion of Mahalaya.
