When someone posted an update on declining Coca Cola sales, Hamdard (or someone impersonating it) resorted to trolling the fizzy drink. Netizens, on the other hand, are enjoying it all.
Did these two red beverage brands go head to head? Not really. But it was hilarious nonetheless.
It all started with a journalist posting a harmless update. That was last year, but that still didn’t stop this alleged Hamdard Twitter account from pitching in with its two cents.

Last year, Coke’s declining marketshare in Pakistan was a hot topic. Of course, people had thoughts about why Coca Cola’s sales are down.

is there a story coming on this?

Then there were people criticizing the validity of this ‘update’ on the carbonated creation’s sales. Just cause a journalist said so doesn’t mean it’s true (as Pakistanis, we would know).
Source?

Two months into 2020, this tweet is getting more traction, thanks to Hamdard’s Twitter account. But upon closer look, things are not what they seem.

Speaking of sources, the thing is that’s not Hamdard’s real account. It seems that the account trolling Coca Cola is actually a troll account itself.
Not even the herbal brand’s ‘real account’ is verified so how do we know if that one isn’t a troll as well? We do, however, have Hamdard Laboratories Chief Executive, Usama Qureshi’s mention of this account, so it’s safe to say @Hamdard_PK is the real deal.
