Twitter is a fierce place. A place where tweets and subtweets can spread news like fire and situations can get out of hand.
Only recently two big brands got into a brawl and apparently for no significant reason at all. What went down on Twitter was pretty amusing.
What happened was that Careem tried to be nice to a customer and offered them a soda (namely Pepsi) because they did not have any promos to offer.
Whoops. Sorry, we don’t have promos at the moment. Phone nahi to muft ki Pepsi chalay gi? 😀 https://t.co/WJXQjIkm7j

Pepsi however did not like their name being mentioned
Please refrain from using our brand name without permission.

The Pepsi brand got a little too serious even after Careem tried to keep the situation light
We will see who’s sensitive after you receive a legal notice. 🙂 https://t.co/xhGUqb8x0T

Even then Careem couldn’t stay away from the banter

They are right @CareemPAK . You shouldn't. Just a bit of googling would have told you so. pic.twitter.com/Th90nTMGRK
