Carrot Guy is a mascot of the social media app founded by James Tashjian. The app focuses on delivering a daily prompt to its users known as “daily log” and reply. Users who reply earn digital tokens called “Carrot Coins” when they answer questions and reply, which can be redeemed for merchandise, cash or cryptorewards.
Through Instagram, Carrot Guy announced that students who reply to the daily log, and get a photo together could walk away with merchandise or a mystery box with up to 100-dollar bill inside.
Students scanned a QR code to reply to the daily dig, get a photo with Carrot Guy, and picked up free carrots and merch.
