Stride

Dan, the contest-winning machine who won a lifetime of gum

Shaan's old co-founder Dan applied for every contest nobody else bothered with, and kept winning: a lifetime supply of Stride gum for a 30-second jingle, a sandwich-chain mascot-naming contest, and a Wheel of Fortune casting slot.

“He would open up a pack of gum and they would be like, oh, create a 30-second jingle for our, uh, our gum and you could win a lifetime supply of gum. So he won a lifetime supply of Stride gum.”
