From horse carts to petrol sachets, Pakistani Twitter users have zany solutions to the petrol price hike

All it took was an announcement of a massive hike in the price of petrol products by the sitting government for meme-makers on Twitter to unite over their shared anguish.

On Thursday night, Finance Minister Miftah Ismail announced that the federal government had decided to raise the prices of petroleum products by Rs30 per litre, starting from today (Friday). Ever since his announcement, many people have taken to Twitter to discuss the sudden price hike but most importantly, to share their memes.

Another shared a chase scene from film Hera Pheri starring Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, Paresh Rawal and Johnny Lever to describe the current situation, especially at petrol stations.

The Wolf Of Wall Street's Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) also made it to the meme-fest.

It's time we bring back horse carts. According to this user, it's the only solution left.

Selling our souls for petrol sounds about right.
