NOTE: This will blow your mind.
It was just another day at the ScoopWhoop office when folks at Reddit broke out this picture on Twitter . What followed was totally unexpected.
Even @Flipkart Orders from @Amazon ! http://t.co/pAvATFF9P8 pic.twitter.com/wqOISAg1ia

Hilarious, right? Soon after, Flipkart replied to the original tweet with what they were convinced was a cracking comeback.
@redditindia We recycled said packaging as our reception’s dustbin.

Let’s just say, twitter exploded. Some people added fuel to the fire, goading on the two companies to make their moves.
@Flipkart Shots fired. @Amazon , your move 😀

@Flipkart @redditindia Flipkart and Amazon, go get a knife you both, let’s see who wins.

@redditindia great catch! waiting for reply from @amazonIN
— Shiva Kumar (@itsshivahere) February 20, 2015
And a few took potshots at the two retail giants.
@sekkizhar @Flipkart @redditindia Even I’m surprised @amazon is still sleeping! Are they trying to mimic their delivery timelines?

@Flipkart So cheap! Don’t have enough money buy a proper dustbin! @redditindia

@Flipkart @redditindia After big billion day….flipkart has become so poor that they can’t afford a dustbin lol @amazonIN
— akshit (@HukkaKing1) February 20, 2015
Others meanwhile, thought the Flipkart reply was not exactly appropriate.
@Flipkart @redditindia witty to an extent….but admitting your packaging material poor?

@Flipkart Not a graceful reply. @redditindia @Trendulkar
— MP Singh (@NotThatMP) February 20, 2015
But look who we found tagged in the middle of it all!
@Flipkart @redditindia I can see a @ScoopWhoop article ‘Reddit said flipkart uses amazon services to which flipkart gave a fitting reply!’:D
— Shreyasi Bose (@freakteans) February 20, 2015
Gee, you guys! Totally did not see this coming!
@freakteans @ScoopWhoop Title be like “You wouldn’t believe what @Flipkart said to @redditindia about @Amazon ” 😀

The reply from @amazonIN to @Flipkart will blow your mind. Upcoming article from @ScoopWhoop @redditindia pic.twitter.com/vV7R6nS9KJ
