An inspired rip-off of the Apple mien, Stride gum has created an Apple for Mint. Starting with a billboard in SoHo right near the Apple store, displaying only a date, “08.13.12,” and clues seemed to point to Apple. The effort, via the London office of Wieden & Kennedy, includes an ad for Mintacular gum that plays with Apple's product iconography on The Onion and the Stride Facebook page, which has three million followers, and on YouTube.
