So she decided to play with Hardy’s obsession for chicken nuggets by reaching out to, appropriately enough, Tyson Foods for help.“[Blair] has always LOVED dino nuggets and was marrying a man with the last name Tyson, so it really was a match made in heaven,” Spetz told Business Insider.“I really didn’t expect my inquiry to go any further than an auto-reply from customer service,” said Spetz, who calls Tyson’s thorough response “mindblowing.”“Their PR team immediately reached out and wanted to be a part of the surprise!” Spetz continued, noting that the brand even coordinated with a local florist to make it happen. “Once they got involved, everything seemed to fall into place.
