Ever since the Indian Cricket Team's brutal loss to England in the semi-finals of the ICC T20 World Cup, Desi Twitter has heavily taken to memes and jokes to cope with the loss. In a peculiar turn of events, accompanying the trending hashtag #INDvsENG, is the global pizza chain, Domino's.
While watching the match that Indian cricket fans can only describe as "frustrating", Domino's Pizza sent out a mobile notification claiming that by using their exclusive coupon code, fans could enjoy a free garlic bread for every wicket!

In no time, Domino's Pizza began trending. Over one ill-timed promise of free garlic bread, netizens experienced a gamut of emotions: anger, frustration and laughter being on the forefront. One Twitter user commented, "I’m confused!!! Marketing or Sarcasm?"
