From police forces to brands, everyone has now joined the #Binod meme bandwagon as it continued to dominate social media trends and fans can’t have enough of it. While some had jokes up their sleeves, one even changed their Twitter profile name to Binod. However, it was Tinder India’s take on the trend that stole the show online.
As people across the country try to solve the mystery behind what triggered the bizarre meme trend, Tinder decided to pitch in, of course keeping up with its motto to connect like-minded people through its app. In a series of tweets, the dating app informed that Binod is on their platform and that he has met his perfect match — Binodini, leaving netizens in splits.
