This system was so much smoother. I was actually able to get one in 2016!
Last year they had that funky Fooji distribution method too. Missed out on that one!
Ok, so fill me in on Fooji. I managed to get one by answering a tweet the first day but unless I missed them, I saw no more tweets go out other days. People all week were talking about Fooji delivering pops. Did they use other platforms?
I'm not sure the full story on it. Someone was telling me about it when I was in line for Game of Thrones. There was a specific time that you had to tweet a codeword and then answer some questions. I got as far as updating your location via GPS for delivery, and got a sold out message. I would much prefer the line-up distribution method from 2016 to what I encountered with Fooji.
So the first day we saw the tweet, something like "Tweet us back for some cool Conan swag" so we did, they asked some questions then asked for an address. We gave the hotel address and they said we were outside of the Gaslamp area and were ineligible. So my wife used her phone to tweet, we went through the same questions and then when it asked for an address we gave the Spreckles Theater, it said someone was on the way. We got out of the hotel and jogged down there to the theater. While we were at the theater I signed up for a new twitter account, tweeted Fooji, went through the steps and had someone coming to the theater to deliver me a pop as well. Other people joined us off the street, asked what was going on and tweeted Fooji. about 25 minutes later someone came riding up on a bike and handed everyone the Conan Spiderman Pop and a Pepsi. I would say that they were taking orders for pops for probably around an hour or so that first day, there was certainly no rush.
