The comment section quickly filled with reactions from amused South Africans. Many parents admitted their children were also obsessed with the Sixty60 bikes that zip around local neighbourhoods. For kids who see the bikes daily, the delivery service feels as exciting as superheroes, making the party theme strangely relatable.

People also joked that this was the ultimate form of brand loyalty, and others said they could now imagine their own kids asking for the same theme. It demonstrated just how deeply the service has become ingrained in everyday family life, extending beyond mere convenience.

The video quickly went viral as users shared and tagged friends, praising the creativity. Party planners and parents saw it as proof that local brands can inspire fun, unexpected events. Instead of superheroes or cartoon characters, this family used a piece of daily life to create a memorable experience.

Kairo’s birthday party may just set a trend for other parents looking to think outside the box. With social media turning everyday moments into viral sensations, a simple delivery app ended up being the star of a six-year-old’s big day.
