Man Orders Groceries Once, Swiggy Delivers Six Times; Netizens Begin Meme Fest

New Delhi: Imagine ordering groceries online, only to have six delivery drivers show up at your door, each carrying your order... multiplied by six! That's exactly what happened to Praanay Loya, a Twitter user from India, thanks to a hilarious glitch in the Swiggy app.

Loya tried placing an order on Swiggy Instamart, but his payment went through while the order remained stuck in limbo. After several attempts, he switched to cash on delivery and even tried another app, just to be safe. (Also Read: Google Maps Introduces Fuel-Saving Feature For Indian Users: Check How To Use It)

I placed an order on the app. The money was deducted but the order status was being shown as cancelled.

Tried placing another order. Same thing happened. — Praanay Loya (@pranayloya) December 14, 2023

Then came the surprise - Swiggy drivers started arriving, one after the other, with six times the groceries he ordered! (Also Read: Shocking! Tech Company CEO Coerces Women Employee Into Signing Sex Slavery Contract)

I unintentionally broke down Swiggy’s app. 6 delivery executives brought the same order!

Suddenly my phone started ringing with multiple calls from the delivery executives

Suddenly, Loya found himself drowning in 20 liters of milk, 6 kilograms of dosa batter, and enough pineapples to fuel a fruit salad party for the whole neighborhood.

Finally after a couple of hours of back and forth. Now i have 20 litres of milk, 6kg Dosa batter, 6 packets of Pineapple.

Let me know what I should do with these? — Praanay Loya (@pranayloya) December 14, 2023

He took to Twitter, seeking advice on what to do with his windfall of groceries, and the internet came to the rescue with creative suggestions for sharing, donating, and even whipping up some epic dosa feasts.

You just showcased a design flaw in a distributed system design. They probably need a global lock on sensitive transactions. #DistributedSystems — Vadi (@vadivelk) December 15, 2023
