What to put on the sign

β€œI'd be NUTS to go with anyone else. HOCO?”

One line, big letters. If it needs a second read, cut it down.

The plan

Grab a jar of Planters peanuts and tape an index card over the front label. When they twist off the lid they read the line before they even get a snack. The ask lives in something they carry around all day, so the whole lunch table clocks it too.
