Kool-Aid | Don’t Drop the OH YEAH

HASHTAG CHALLENGE / 2020

Don’t Drop the OH YEAH

One very long catchphrase. A whole feed trying not to be the person who ended it.

The idea started with the same unapologetic energy as Kool-Aid Man’s best social posts: give people a simple setup and let them make it bigger. I helped write a duet challenge that asked TikTok users to keep one continuous OH YEAH going for as long as possible. The character supplied the first breath. The community took it from there.

Let out your biggest OH YEAH and duet this to keep the chain going. #dontdroptheohyeah #duetthis

THE RESPONSE

A catchphrase became a chain reaction.

The hashtag challenge turned two familiar words into something people could add to, remix, and pass along.
