UConn-March Madness vs Dining Services-Candy Madness

With all the excitement of the UConn men’s and women's basketball teams being in the finals, Dining Services decided to jump in on the action with a "Candy Madness/Sweet Sixteen" bracket challenge! John at the Union Central Exchange Convenience Store called us (Marketing) saying he wanted to run a candy contest at the C-store. They just purchased one of those large acrylic candy dispensers...the see-through kind that holds a bunch of different kinds of candy and makes you drool every time you look at it. Well, twenty-nine out of thirty bins are already filled with a variety of colorful, delicious tasting candy. John purposely left the last bin empty, wanting C-Store customers to vote for their favorite candy, chosen from a list of sixteen additional options. Here's where Jeff (Marketing) stole this project away and ran with it.
He proposed the contest be centered around brackets, as in basketball brackets, which are first and foremost on everyone’s minds around here! He designed this great poster and bracket sheet, which is now posted on our Facebook page, along with rules on how to play. So, if you want in on the game and to participate in a different kind of historical event at UConn, go to Union Central Exchange and fill out your bracket! You can also read the details on our Facebook page. By the way, if you haven’t liked us yet, please do. There will be more promotions coming. Thanks! http://www.facebook.com/uconndiningservices
