The brand saw an opportunity among a group of millennials known as “nowists”- those who value real experiences more than social media “currency”. American Honey took up the rally cry for people to get off their phones and live in the moment. But ironically, the brand realized that to be successful, it needed to reach the audience in the same very place it was rallying against: social media. And so, the brand put up a mirror to the scary reality of social media and brought it to real life, namely, the Social Media Bar.

In a parody PSA that featured KIND spokeswoman and celebrity chef Daphne Oz, Onion Labs put a spotlight on the serious “epidemic” sweeping the nation: Restless Palate Syndrome (aka FOMO for your taste buds). The campaign highlighted the heartbreaking symptoms of an unsatisfied palate, offering KIND’s new flavor bars as the ultimate cure and charging consumers with doing their part by voting for KIND’s next flavor.

Unfortunately, the stunt didn't go as planned and ended with fans rioting in the streets across the country. Wanting desperately to make amends, McDonald’s promised the return of Szechuan Sauce in early 2018, and this time, they were determined to get it right. As the big day approached, McDonald’s realized it also had a unique opportunity to answer the question so many consumers had asked: How did the world’s largest fast food chain let this all happen?
