19. And at the end of the day, we obviously hope you end up picking

If you could have one thing from Amazon, what would it be?
27. Within hours of topping the front page, the story of our
Nissan/Amazon partnership showed up across more than 150 articles
in 30 countries.
The story quickly became the #1 trending topic on Reddit. Even Jerry
Seinfeld took a break from his “Ask Me Anything” to comment,
wondering if the box was real or a hoax? The story leaped from Reddit
and spread across the rest of the internet… The campaign was
covered in 35 countries and on 5 continents making it a story that was
almost as big as the box itself.
