TOMBSTONE Candy Corn Pizza
For Halloween, TOMBSTONE created two limited-edition pizzas topped with candy corn: one with pepperoni and one with five cheeses. Billing them as “The Pizza Nobody Asked For” gave the seasonal launch a playful, divisive hook, with kits sold exclusively on the brand’s website.
Why it worked: It hijacked a heated seasonal debate with a stunt product, sharpened by self-deprecating framing and a scarce, time-locked drop.
The lesson: Consider launching a limited online-only “nobody asked for this” edition that playfully tackles a polarising debate your audience already argues about.
