Wingstop's promotional offer of free wings for every Detroit Pistons win backfired when the team went on a 27-game losing streak, rendering the promo code PISTONS5 unusable. The situation gained viral attention on social media, with many seeing the humor in the marketing fail. Despite the Pistons' poor performance, the promotion has inadvertently generated significant buzz for Wingstop, with the brand's balance sheet and marketing strategy becoming a topic of discussion. The Pistons' recent win against the Toronto Raptors finally allows fans to cash in on the promotion, and the marketing team at Wingstop is likely pleased with the unexpected attention the campaign has received.
TikToker Jordan (@jordan_the_stallion8) has revealed the secret recipe for Wingstop's famous ranch sauce as an act of revenge after being disappointed by the restaurant's false claim of a "ranch fountain."

The recipe includes dried buttermilk powder, dried parsley, granulated garlic, granulated onion, dried dill, dried onion flakes, dried chives, salt, mayonnaise, and buttermilk.
