Shitty overpriced chocolate company that attempts to use "dAnK iNtErNeT mEmEs" to boost sales. Just another startup that will ultimately fail due to bringing absolutely nothing new to the table in an already oversaturated market.
Gatsby Chocolate fucked up when they made an ad using a fake UrbanDictionary.com definition for their ads.

When you post something on a social media site, with the only intention, that your crush will notice and like it.
Stop Gatsby-ing so much! You only put that pic on Instagram, because you hoped your crush would see it!

When you put out a specific social media post in the hopes of gaining the attention of one specific person. Similar to how Gatsby threw parties every weekend just in hopes of gaining Daisy's attention.

This post can be a thirst trap or a memory or something targeted just to get that specific person's attention.

After posting the Gatsby, the poster will then obsessively check to see if the person they had in mind has viewed/liked the snap/story/post
Calvin put up a Gatsby on his snap to get Jana's attention
