Postscript by Martin Beck, February 27, 1:16 p.m. Eastern:
Brands continued to stoke the debate today, not wanting to sit on the sidelines of one of the most viral sensations in Internet history. The original BuzzFeed post was shared about 16 million times and now has racked up more than 28 million. Twitter reported more than 11 million tweets about the topic in less than 20 hours. So the fear of missing out on this one is apparently very strong.
Here are some of the more notable second-day efforts (and a couple that we missed last night).
