    Spiraling About Girl Scouts, Chocolate, Folding Phones, and BookTok

    Welcome back to Spilling & Spiraling! This week, we’re breaking down the marketing stories, pop culture moments, and internet chaos that caught our attention. 🍫 CHOCOLATE IS DOING THE MOST Snickers is using AI to bring “You’re Not You When You’re Hungry” into the ChatGPT era with Hungr.AI. Hershey’s is teaming up with KATSEYE to make chocolate feel very Gen Z, and KitKat somehow turned a 413,000-bar theft into an award-winning marketing moment. We’re talking about why legacy brands don’t necessarily need a new product to create fresh, culturally relevant marketing. Snickers Hungr.AI coverage from Tom's Guide Marketing Dive's breakdown of Hershey's x KATSEYE Nestlé's case study on The KitKat Heist 🐶 GIRL SCOUT COOKIES ARE ENTERING THEIR COLLAB ERA The Girl Scouts are shaking up the cookie lineup for 2027 with two VERY unexpected additions: a dog-friendly treat created with BARK and an allergen-friendly cookie made with Partake. Is this the beginning of the Girl Scouts’ hype-drop era? We think so. 📚 BOOKTOK IS FEEDING HOLLYWOOD From Fourth Wing and The Love Hypothesis to The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and The Cruel Prince, BookTok has become a gold mine for Hollywood. We’re talking about what happens when fans have already fancast the characters, created fan art, debated every detail, and basically made their own version of the story before a studio ever gets involved. And then there’s Greta Gerwig’s Narnia — proof that sometimes the marketing isn’t just the IP itself. It’s whose version of the IP we’re getting. 📱 APPLE FINALLY FOLDED Apple has officially entered the foldable phone conversation, and Alicia has QUESTIONS. Is this the future of the iPhone? Is the hinge secretly a fidget toy? And most importantly… HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO PUT A CASE ON THIS THING?! Plus, we’re spiraling over all the things currently living rent-free in our heads.
