What do you get when you put a black rhino, a watermelon and Mashable in the same room? We didn’t know the answer either — at least until today.
As you may have heard, we’re celebrating our fifth birthday here at Mashable, and we want to thank everybody for supporting us these past five years. We are overwhelmed by the birthday wishes you’ve been sending us and posting on Facebook, Twitter and elsewhere on the web.
We want to highlight a birthday video card that caught the entire team’s attention, though. The people over at Busch Gardens decided to commemorate Mashable’s birthday by having Forest, a 3,000-pound black rhinoceros, “mash” a watermelon painted with our colors and posting the video to YouTube.
If Busch Gardens was looking to get some publicity out of the melon mashing video, then mission accomplished. We love it when brands use social media for clever marketing campaigns. We’ve clicked the replay button on this video too many times not to share with the rest of you.
Busch Gardens, can you fly Forest the Rhino over for an office visit? We’ll supply the watermelons.
