Islamabad: Social media users had the laugh of their lives when a Pakistani television anchor confused tech giants Apple Inc with apple, the fruit, on a live program.
The panellist, discussing Pakistan’s economic and financial conditions, said: “Apple’s business amounts to more than the whole of Pakistan’s annual budget”.
The anchor, confusing it with the fruits industry exclaimed: “Yes sir, I have heard there are copious varieties of apples and the business is quite big.”
The panellist quickly responded by saying: “I am talking about the Apple company, not the fruit.”
A short clip of this hilarious incident was shared on social media by one user which triggered a tsunami of hilarious reactions and memes.
“News Channel’s or Comedy show,” said one Twitter user.
“That’s why people say an apple a day keeps the doctor away but they don’t say psychiatrist away,” said another.
“Poor anchor still thinking about grocery after the show,” said one social media user.
