The experiment was designed to be fun-filled and the conversations between the pairs ranged from Bollywood movies and dialogues to TV shows. The campaign was live across multiple social media platforms. Furthermore, the brand initiated social media conversations through an Instagram contest. Users were encouraged to tag the person they wanted to share the last slice of pizza with on Friendship Day and provide a reason for their selection. The best entries are expected to win prizes.
