Baskin Robbins India Jumps On The #ScienceFoods Bandwagon On Twitter
If you’ve been on Twitter today, you may have noticed that #ScienceFoods is currently trending. And, taking advantage of the trend is one of our favourite ice cream brands; Baskin Robbins. Before we get into what they’re doing around the trend here’s little bit of background about –
#ScienceFoods
We think the trend can be traced back to @midnight, a Comedy central game show hosted by Chris Harwick. The game show includes one game – Hashtag Wars where panellists have to come up with contributions using a given hashtag theme. The Twitterati are also encouraged to make their own phrase with the hashtag and get the chance to have it featured on the show’s next episode.
The #ScienceFoods hashtag, therefore, was the hashtag of choice for the most recent show. Here’s a look at the panellists’ contributions:
