The initiative was prompted by a recent survey that revealed over half of singles believe that bad dating behavior is on the rise. Starting on Monday, March 16th, daters can tell Orbit Gum about a recent "dirty date" experience like being catfished (using misleading pictures on your dating profile) or ghosted (not being contacted at all) for a chance to win $75 on Venmo—the average cost of a first date. To enter, just tag @OrbitGum on [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poop-on-super-bowel-monday) using the hashtags #KeepItClean and #Sweepstakes for the chance to be one of 500 individuals awarded the Bad Date Rebate.
