Tropicana Canada launched a new product, Tropicana Farmstand, that tastes like fruit juice but also contains one serving of vegetables. It masks the unsavory taste of vegetables, making it a hit beverage for young kids. In "Ninja," a young girl maneuvers through her house like a ninja. She's on a mission: reach the refrigerator and drink a glass of Tropicana Farmstand. The mini ninja hides under a rug in the living room and the dining room table undetected, like the serving of veggies found in Tropicana Farmstand. Mom finds the …

I'm fairly certain this hashtag is longer than 140 characters. A&W Restaurants added a large, new sandwich called the "Hand-bread Chicken Tender Texas Toast Sandwich" to its menu and is promoting the hefty sandwich with a hefty hashtag.
