Extension: Never Have I Ever…
Employing the classic “Never Have I Ever…” party game, Cann will use strategic out-of-home placements on billboards and bus stops to ask the audience if they’ve ever felt anxious or out-of-place in specific social situations. We’ll provide an answer with our comforting tagline “You Cann” which ties to Cann’s socially calming benefits.

Think Drunk History meets Oprah.
