Mumbai Flatmates Go Viral After Calling Snabbit to Fill Their Water Bottles - And Even Ice Trays

Snabbit viral video

In a clip that’s now buzzing across Instagram, three young flatmates from Mumbai have taken “home convenience” to a whole new level - by ordering a Snabbit service to fill up their water bottles instead of doing it themselves. What started as a lazy household moment quickly turned into a viral sensation as netizens weighed in on modern convenience culture.

The reel shared shows, shows the trio lounging on their living room sofa while one of them pulls out her phone to book a Snabbit helper. Moments later, a uniformed Snabbit worker arrives and - to the amazement of viewers - fills three big water bottles straight from the kitchen tap. She even tops up the roommates’ ice cube trays before leaving, all with a polite smile and quick efficiency.

Viewers online have watched the short clip countless times, with many calling it “peak urban convenience” - a nod to how on-demand services have extended far beyond food and grocery delivery. Some social media users pointed out that platforms like Snabbit make life easier for busy professionals, while others joked that asking someone to refill water is “the ultimate first-world flex.”


Snabbit, an on-demand household service platform, has been rapidly expanding in Indian cities, offering everything from cleaning and laundry to kitchen prep and errands - all via quick bookings on an app. The startup has drawn attention recently as more urban households outsource everyday chores to save time and energy.

Reacting to the viral video, one Instagram user wrote: “They already pay for food delivery… why not water delivery too?” Critics, meanwhile, argued that India’s youth who have disposable income and want to enjoy comfort should have the right to do so.

Despite mixed reactions, the video’s popularity highlights a growing trend: a shift from doing household chores personally to relying on tech-driven services that bring help right to your doorstep.

Whether it’s convenience or indulgence, this moment has got everyone talking - and clicking - leaving no doubt that the meme-able service clip is one of the latest internet hits of the year.
