LAHORE - Social media forums not only connect people from all over the world but also keep them busy and engaged in tussles sometimes.

Recently the social media users witnessed a tussle going on between two known brands of the Pakistan, Careem, and Pepsi on Twitter.

The online feud started when Careem replied to a customer's tweet that if they can send a Pepsi bottle instead of the promo code. Below is the post:

Whoops. Sorry, we don’t have promos at the moment. Phone nahi to muft ki Pepsi chalay gi? 😀 https://t.co/WJXQjIkm7j

To this, Pepsi replied that the ride-hailing company cannot mention their name without approval:

Please refrain from using our brand name without permission.

In reply to Pepsi's tweet, Careem added a fun element and inquired why Pepsi brand was getting touchy:

Wow. A bit too sensitive? :) https://t.co/5dOdecjHci

Careem kept the ball rolling and took sarcastic jib amid the tussle.

@CareemUAE Sunay. Bebsi chahiye?

But it seemed like Pepsi was not at all in the mood of fun and threatened  Careem with sending a legal notice for using their name without approval.

We will see who’s sensitive after you receive a legal notice. 🙂 https://t.co/xhGUqb8x0T

The ongoing feud shocked Twitteratis after Head of Marketing for brand Pepsi, Saad Munawar, presented a partnership offer instead of earlier promised 'Legal Notice'; Munawar announced to give 1 million  Careem promos with Pepsi bottles.

Soon after the video was posted by Pepsi official, the ride-hailing service accepted the challenge with some huge addition.

To Phir Bismillah Karain, @PepsiPakistan. ⊂(▀¯▀⊂)

Careem’s Marketing Director announced that they can double the promos as well meaning that Careem and Pepsi are now giving away 2 million free promos for commuters to 'thrill and chill'.

So the corporate feud that erupted with a user's promo request ended up in two million promos for consumers giving us a message that 'fights aren't always counterproductive'.

Enjoy your Pepsi sips and Careem ride!
