A technician from Bangalore, stuck in traffic, ordered a burger, thinking it would take at least a couple of hours for delivery. To his surprise, the delivery was completed in just 10 minutes while he was still sitting in his car.

“Peak moment in Bangalore is when you are stuck in traffic for almost two hours so you order dinner from your car and it gets delivered in 10 MINUTES (khana khatam lekin ye traffic nahi),” the man wrote on X.

The post went viral as consumers praised the speed of food delivery apps.

A user commented: “This delivery speed is unreal! Swiggy Bolt has officially redefined the term “fast food.”

Another user said, “Isse jyada time to mujhe Restaurant me Menu read karne me lag jata hai” (I spend more time reading restaurant menus than doing this).

Isse jyada it’s time to go to the restaurant mujhe, I should read the menu, karne me lag jata hai..

A user humorously remarked, “Restaurants kya shakalaka pencil se khana bana rahe hain jo 10 minutes they deliver kar rahe hain to me.” (“Are these restaurants making food with a magic pencil that they can deliver in 10 minutes?”)

The urban movement truly has its own personality, which tests one’s patience and spawns countless stories like this one!”

Only in Bangalore can your food outpace traffic. It’s both funny and tragic when dinner arrives before you’ve even moved an inch. The urban movement truly has its own personality, which tests one’s patience and gives rise to countless similar stories!
