There were a number of interesting announcements this week among a variety of brands. Farmers shocked everyone by twerking around a greenhouse to promote their organic GMO-free produce. Taco Bell joined Snapchat and asked users to add them, which likely means they\u2019ll be limiting who gets to see the brand\u2019s snaps.
