After Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel allegedly termed India as a ‘poor country’, the entire nation was outraged.
To teach Snapchat a lesson, thousands of miffed users uninstalled the app and left a one-star rating. Their efforts paid off well too as Snapchat’s rating on the App Store dropped to a “single star” on Sunday morning after #boycottsnapchat trended the whole day on Twitter.
But in the midst of this, e-commerce website Snapdeal too got dragged in the drama with no reason at all. Except for confusion!
What happened?
In their anger, some ignorant users apparently mistook Snapchat for Snapdeal (for having ‘snap’ in its name) and started uninstalling it that instead. This gaffe was spotted when people took to Twitter to post screenshots of Snapdeal’s App Store reviews.

Companies starting with snap names seems to go out of mind. We have witnessed #snapdeal sinking,looks like same will happen with #Snapchat

Snapdeal always suffers, first because of aamir khan and now this Snapchat. I feel pity for them 😁😁

Boycotting Snapdeal instead of Snapchat is the equivalent of slapping Arbaaz Khan because you’re angry with Roger Federer.

After spending Rs.200 crores on branding @snapdeal must be wondering today why people can’t make out it’s not @Snapchat

People boycotting snapdeal thinking it’s Snapchat ismore insulting for India than someone calling Indiapoor. #boycottsnapchat #MIvGL
