    Anyone else remember reddit’s r/RandomActsofPizza and how within six months of there being news stories about the subreddit that Mars Inc. had copyrighted/trademarked “Random Acts of Chocolate” and turned it into an ad campaign to convince people to buy an extra candy bar to share.

    Pepperidge Farm remembers corporations co-opting communities to make a buck.

    Also they explicitly call it sharing size so when people get fat as fuck from eating a whole bag they can claim it’s not their fault and that people should have more self control with their addictive sugar bombs.
