Nine passes left to attend the Digiday Publishing Summit

In the interest of fairness-in-shaming, here are a smattering of recent Facebook flops by brands that should know better. (And, come to think of it, maybe their fans should know better too, because a lot of these posts got way too many likes.)
Snapple

Pizza Hut
I don’t think you are fully grasping the concept of the tbt hashtag.
