Zomato, the popular restaurant search and online food-ordering and delivery platform has triggered a viral trend on social media.
In a tweet posted on its official social media handle, Zomato went out of its usual character, and posted a tweet saying, "Guys, kabhi kabhi ghar ka khana bhi kha lena chahiye" (Guys, sometimes you should eat home-cooked food too).
Zomato, is known for encouraging social media users to 'Order in' so this appeared out-of-character for the brand.
Guys, kabhi kabhi ghar ka khana bhi kha lena chahiye

The tweet which has over 19,000 times likes, led to responses from other brands and companies, and soon a new trend started.
Brands came out and started recommending people to do the opposite of what their services stand for.

Zomato, however, managed to have the last word, or tweet. And definitely the last laugh.
