Brands craft mystery flavors to engage fans and tantalize taste buds, and 99 Brand is inviting consumers to submit their guesses for its new mystery flavor with a fun, nostalgic experience.
99 Brand's new mystery flavor drops in stores in late October. Unlike other brands that ask fans to speculate on social media or submit their idea via a web form, 99 Brands is challenging fans to share their best guess as to what the flavor is by calling 1-833-GUESS99—and being the 99th caller to correctly identify the mystery flavor gives them a chance to win $9,999.99.
Knowing that many Millennial and Gen Z consumers prefer not to engage in live phone conversations, 99 Brands designed the experience so that callers interact with a recorded prompt.
