17 - Social Media Trends and Food Branding Flops
Episode 017
This week on Hype Busters, April and Chris are laser-focused on the latest trends and campaigns to hit social media this month. They’re chatting about Facebook’s faulty ad reporting, Doja Cat’s Taco Bell jingle on Tik Tok and Elon Musk’s idea to create a new social platform. They’re also covering some recent food branding flops, including Pizza Hut’s official “Struggle Bus,” the new Tostitos audio logo, Coke’s new pixel-flavored drink, and a final call on whether Frito Lay’s “Potadomes” at Coachella are a cash move or a trash stunt. And of course, April and Chris also weigh in on Will Smith’s recent scandal at the Oscars.
