Jio gets into meme-filled banter with Amazon Prime; announces good news for its customers
Jio got into a meme-filled banter with Amazon Prime on Twitter. The tech giant announced a good news for its customers using the broadband service JioFiber.
With the prevalence of social media, memes have become a part and parcel of the netizens’ lives. Be it poking fun at a movie, trolling a celebrity or reacting to a current issue, memes on almost every major event are common. Even business deals have taken an extension in such form, after the heads sign on the dotted lines.
This was evident with Jio and Amazon Prime getting into a banter on Twitter. Sharing a still from Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara of the dialogue "Maine tumhare baare me kuch suna,” Amazon Prime asked Jio what was up.
