A man caught attention online with a post about getting his Play Station 5 (PS5) delivered in a staggering 23 minutes in the UAE. But things took an interesting turn when an Indian X user reposted it with a screenshot from quick commerce firm Blinkit showing eight-minute delivery. The post sparked a light-hearted discussion as people compared the delivery speeds of the two services. Although the rapid 23-minute PS5 delivery in the UAE amazed many, Blinkit’s remarkable eight-minute delivery quickly became the talking point. Irffan Asif, who posted the screenshot, humorously captioned his repost, “Who is gonna tell him.” See the post: Who is gonna tell him @letsblinkit pic.twitter.com/43TihwBCC0 — Irffan (@IrffanAsiff) November 5, 2024 The post has amassed over 800,000 views, with netizens sharing opinions and discussing topics from Dubai’s differences with India to quick delivery services, and some even talking about India’s tech advantage. An X user commented, “Man, the moment I step out of the country, I miss UPI and Blinkit. Grab is kinda close, but not really.” Another user humorously wrote, “Bangalore is 10 years ahead of Dubai in terms of everything, including traffic.” However, some users pointed out the price difference for a PS5 in Dubai and in India. One of them commented, “Almost 1000 dirham difference.” Another user added, “So much cheaper in UAE.” And some others questioned the need for fast deliveries for some products. “Do we really need it in 23 minutes or 8 minutes! I can just go to a store and buy it, plus maybe pick up some games and accessories. Or, I could even order it on Amazon and wait for a day! It’s not an essential item that we need it delivered in 8 minutes,” an X user wrote.
