Just About Every Brand Wants a Slice of Pi Day

If you've spent 3.14 seconds on Twitter or Facebook today, you probably know that it's March 14, or 3/14, or Pi Day. 

Ah yes, Pi Day, celebrating a mathematical constant, a number with way too many decimal places, a number used to calculate the diameter, radius and circumference of a circle.

It's also a number that seems to inspire brands to create a wide range of pi/pie-related social media updates. From the obvious pizza and bakery brands to the slightly more tangential tech brands, there's been quite a bit of fun and questionably topical output on social media today.

AT&T commendably tied its post back to actual science education:

Getting kids interested in #STEM should be easy as #Pi. #PiDay http://t.co/fXlKKDenvL pic.twitter.com/IIJEHCWF6L— AT&T (@ATT) March 14, 2014

Bing got pretty serious with its decimal dedication:

Happy 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592 307816… Day. http://t.co/0BVx1aXVDK #piday pic.twitter.com/v0l5KH0Ny8 — Bing (@bing) March 14, 2014

And even Red Bull was true to the math:

But a lot of brands just wanted to cover Rebecca Black's "Friday:"

It's Pi Day, Pi Day gotta get down on Pi Day. #HappyPiDay

Then there was a lot of the usual branded oddness:

RT if you're 3.14 times more excited to eat a pie today. #PiDay.

Eat pie for breakfast! While you’re at it, why not make it a low calorie Tasti Mud Pie flavor? Happy Pi Day to all our Tasti lovers.
