I"M SO MF PUMPED ABOUT THIS RIGHT HERE!!! #WacoindaDontPlay!
So........ did I share this? #WhiteCastle 'tried it" ... They stole an idea from one of OUR Community members in Wacoinda - they run #3somechocolates and had been on #SharkTank, the whole 9; They have GENIUS marketing and we were LOVING Them in Wacoinda, buying their products and what not.....
THEN ........... one of the founders let us know that something was not right!!!!
WHITE Castle STOLE (or tried) to STEAL Their Idea; SUDDENLY THEY Were using 3some in their Marketing; WHAT?? So .... Wacoinda Went into WORK mode - We got on TWITTER and GAVE THEM THE BUSINESS!!!!!
We let everyone know they were FRAUDS and shame on them for STEALING this 'idea' from Our brethren, a small owned business. We NOT for these MAJOR companies taking advantage of The little guy........... #Wacoinda Don't Play!!!
Your marketing campaign is a rip-off from a small business called 3 Some Chocolates. Shame on you! They've been building their Brand and presence for a long time. Do your own work! pic.twitter.com/JEpGZ19FxF

y'all should be ashamed of yourselves, stealing ideas from Small businesses like @3SomeChocolates because you think you can gangster your way through life; the least you could do is tell the world who you stole your slogan from. Spread some love around - but nope -

This add campaign seems eerily similar to 3 Some Chocolates. Perhaps you need to give a call over to the marketing department or the company that copied this concept from the independent business owners. pic.twitter.com/bx1FWk5f2R

So yea .... They felt the heat.
Today, we were told of what White Castle decided to do; They decided to Partner up with our Brother & Sister ---
They reached out to us and let us know they love small business!

I'M SO MF HYPED about all of what's transpired .......... Because of #GROUPeffort ..........
This is evidence that when PEOPLE move together, we can get things done. We worked together, and helped out one of 'our own' at a time when they needed it. If you want to learn MORE about Wacoinda, I 'also' highly recommend reading some of THESE articles....
Damn that was a monster move. This ordeal should be used as a case study that can be referenced in future.
Right? I mean - this is evidence that 'standing together' we really and truly can accomplish anything; it's not "just' rhetoric
Wacoinda is a community that will definatley support each other and that is what I love about my community. Collaborative efforts for one is a collaborative effort for us all. This is all part of the journey!!
all part of the journey! It's a beautiful thing that is unfolding, and I'm glad to be a part of it.
crazy how this is what you said 2 months ago; these past 2 weeks have TRULY shown it's truth - #WacoindaForever!
