WORST Marketing Campaign EVER? Nick-Or-Treat!

This might be one of the worst marketing campaigns I've come across. Nickelodeon ran a sweepstakes for 17 years during Halloween that required contestants to answer the phone with "Nick or Treat".

"hey have you hear about the nick o treat?" Great way to cancel people

[grekygrek]

Yeah it's weird that not so long ago everyone wasn't seeing racism with every little thing.

One of the worst? Nah....it's actually straight fire

[killz-joyz]

It's not like it's on purpose, it's not racist.

I feel like if they replaced Nick-or-Treat with Hello ween it would’ve lasted longer

I don't think you would be banned for saying "Nick or treat". Just because it might sound like something else that alone wouldn't be grounds to ban you.

Saying nick or treat fast is being racist without being racist

[XXhite]

Nick or treat was one of the dopest parts of many people's childhoods. How you gonna cancel something because you heard something incorrectly? Chill bruh.🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯💯

[tomackerman]

It doesn't sound racist at all...

[mrburns]

Those were the good old days when people weren't professionally offended and obsessed with race

[nathanthompson]

I wonder how Nickelodeon diddnt get in trouble with the nick or treat sweepstakes

[vertigoink]

This made the year for so many of us back then...there wasn't anything racist about this whatsoever.
