Black Friday isn’t just about the deals—it’s about the spectacle. And yes, we dove headfirst into it.
Full Video: Our 30 min Target Black Friday wait turned into a mini social experiment. We knew what we were in for: 5 chances out of 100 for a large prize. Not great odds, but hey, it’s Black Friday roulette.
Ok, maybe it wasn’t the mayhem of 20 years ago—crowds buzzing, carts clashing, elbows flying for flat screens—but the energy was still there, even if on snooze since only about 60 people showed up.
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
Our hopes shot up watching someone walk out a winner.
The prize? A Ninja SLUSHi 88oz Professional Frozen Drink Maker — featuring RapidChill Technology and 5 preset programs.
Valued at: $349.99 (regular price).
And no, we don’t support Target (Dollar Tree, yo!)—we just had the time this morning to be “fun.”
The vibe? A mash-up of a game show and a holiday sitcom.
And honestly, we can’t complain. We only waited 30 minutes, unlike the poor souls in snow‑blown states who stood in line for 6+ hours just to get inside.
Bonus: because hardly anyone showed, we even managed to snag a second bag.
Did we win with 2 SWAG bags? That’s the cliffhanger.
Spoiler: the fun was the prize. The prize wasn’t anything to be swag about—the “experience” was the win (?).
And honestly, the best part? We had fun talking to the 7,000 viewers on our TikTok Live—even though some said we were loco.
Meanwhile, across the country, Target’s “swag bag giveaway” sparked outrage.
The promotion promised tote bags filled with goodies, plus 10 “extra prize” bags valued at $99 or more.
Advertised prizes included:
- Ninja frozen drink maker
- Beats Solo 4 headphones
- $100 Target gift card
- Circle 360 membership
But reality hit different. Many shoppers posted photos showing bags with only small filler items—UNO cards, mini shampoo, candy, and sample packs.
The result? Backlash and boycott calls flooded social media, with customers blasting Target for overhyping the giveaway.
Taken straight from our TikTok Live, this clip is already riding the viral wave—because let’s be real, Black Friday chaos is the internet’s favorite sport… even if this year felt more like a first‑grade hopscotch contest.
