Walked into the bodega and asked
What it is: The story goes that you can find almost anything in a bodega (or if you're not from NYC, a convenience store). In this trend, Twitter users are sharing the most unrealistic and impossible things to buy while saying they indeed find them in a bodega. From a bag of teeth to a ball of uranium, this trend is all about celebrating the weird things that some convenience stores carry and then taking them to the next level.
How brands can jump in: You can do literally anything for this trend. Just start with "walked into a bodega and asked" and then write whatever you asked for. This could be a fun time to mention a product your audience has been wanting you to release (or bring back), lightheartedly make fun of yourself, or mention a product/service that you know can't ever happen but you still dream about. The most unrealistic, the better! So have fun!
