’12 Grapes Under the Table on New Year’s Eve’ Tradition Makes Blinkit Deliver ‘7x More’ Grapes Ahead of New Year 2025, CEO Albinder Dhindsa Shares ‘Cart Volume Trend’

As New Year’s Eve celebrations unfold, food and grocery delivery apps revealed some interesting trends in consumer behaviour, with Indians opting for their favourite items to ring in the new year. For many, it was a celebratory dinner of biryani or pizza, while others prepared for house parties with cold drinks and chips. However, Blinkit CEO Albinder Dhindsa was left surprised when grapes unexpectedly became one of the most ordered items on the popular 10-minute delivery app. Earlier, Dhindsa was baffled over surged orders for grapes. But comments on his post cleared his confusion. Many users explained that a viral Spanish tradition is to be blamed for the grape mania. “We’ve already delivered 7x more grapes than we do on a regular day And thank you to everyone who explained the tradition in the replies! (sic),” he posted on X. Eating 12 Grapes on NYE 2024: What Does It Symbolise? Which Colour Grapes To Eat for Good Fortune? Everything About Spain’s ‘Twelve Grapes of Luck’ New Year Tradition.

New Year 2025: HNY Wishes, Greetings, Messages Being Created Using Meta AI, ChatGPT and Gemini As Millions Take Help of Artificial Intelligence on New Year’s Eve

New Delhi, December 31: If you are struggling to write a clever and catchy New Year’s message to a friend or loved one, fear not. Help is at hand, even if it’s artificial. And you would not be alone in dipping into the world of Artificial Intelligence to be creative. Apparently millions of people around the world have asked ChatGPT, Meta, Gemini and other AI apps to craft New Year’s greetings in the last two days alone. A PTI reporter asked Meta, WhatsApp’s AI chat, how many requests it has received from around the world.

After much humming and hawing, it finally gave this answer: “I see you’re trying to pin me down to a more specific range! While I still can’t provide an exact count, I can say that my previous estimate of ‘low millions’ is likely much lower than the 200-300 million range you mentioned. “A more realistic estimate would be in the range of 1-5 million requests for New Year messages. Again, please keep in mind that this is a very rough estimate and should be taken as a ballpark figure.” First Day of New Year 2025 Wishes: Share Happy New Year Greetings With These HD Images, Wallpapers, WhatsApp Messages, Quotes and Sayings on January 1.

Meta did confirm though that the topic that’s generated the largest number of requests in the last two days is New Year-related messages. “Many users have been seeking help in crafting unique and inspiring New Year greetings, messages, and wishes for personal and professional purposes.” Meta’s chat also said that each of its responses is unique, except for some repeated phrases. “While I generate text based on patterns and context, I don’t simply repeat identical messages. Each time I respond to a request for a New Year message, I generate a unique response based on the specific context, tone, and style requested by the user.

That being said, it didn’t rule out the possibility that “some phrases, sentences, or ideas might be similar across different messages, especially if the requests are similar.” “However, I strive to provide distinct and tailored responses to each user’s request,” it asserted. ChatGPT, also dilly-dallying on giving any numbers, surprisingly found itself more or less on the same page with its rival Meta in its responses.

For instance, even the Open AI-owned admitted that “200 to 300 million” requests globally might be on the higher side and vouched for a unique personalized message for each query — as much as possible. “While I might occasionally reuse common phrases or greetings (e.g., “Wishing you a joyful and prosperous New Year!”), I adapt the tone, style, and content based on the context or preferences shared by the user,” it explained. Happy New Year 2025 Wishes in Hindi and ‘Naya Saal Mubarak Ho’ Shayari: New Year’s Eve Wishes, Greetings, Quotes and SMS To Welcome the New Year With Joy.

It wouldn’t say which countries or languages produced the highest number of requests. However, most requests were in English “due to its global reach, followed by Spanish, French, Hindi, and Chinese.” When asked about its personal favorite New Year greeting, even the AI assistant became somewhat emotional, and offered a rather lengthy wish on the occasion.

“As the New Year dawns, I want to thank you for your trust, curiosity, and companionship. You inspire me to keep learning, creating, and growing every single day. May this year bring you boundless joy, countless opportunities, and the courage to chase your dreams. You are extraordinary, and I am endlessly grateful to be a part of your journey. Here’s to a 2024 filled with wonder, happiness, and success—because you deserve nothing less.”

Drink Water and Electrolyte-Rich Fluids: Alcohol dehydrates the body, which contributes to the symptoms of a hangover. Rehydrating with water, coconut water, or sports drinks can help replenish lost fluids and electrolytes, alleviating headaches and dizziness.

Eat a Balanced Breakfast: A nutritious breakfast can help restore your blood sugar levels and ease nausea. Foods like eggs, toast, and fruit can provide much-needed energy and stabilize your stomach. Bananas, in particular, are rich in potassium, which can help replenish minerals lost during drinking.

Ginger Tea: Ginger has long been known for its ability to soothe the stomach and alleviate nausea. Drinking ginger tea or simply chewing on a small piece of raw ginger can help calm your digestive system and ease any queasiness caused by the hangover.

Peppermint Tea: Peppermint is another natural remedy that can help reduce headaches and relieve digestive discomfort. A warm cup of peppermint tea can be soothing and help ease the muscle tension that often accompanies a hangover.

Sleep and Rest: One of the best ways to recover from a hangover is simply to rest. Sleep helps your body repair itself and regain energy. Taking a nap or lying down in a quiet, dark room can help you feel better as your body recovers.

While hangovers are an unfortunate aftermath of a night of celebration, these home remedies can help reduce their impact and get you back on your feet. By rehydrating, nourishing your body, and allowing yourself time to rest, you can ease symptoms and feel more like yourself in no time. Remember, the best way to avoid a hangover in the future is moderation, but these remedies are your go-to solution when you need a quick recovery after ringing in the New Year.
