Did you see the oil rigging prank going around TikTok last year? Influencers called up their loved ones and told them they had been invited on a trip, paid for by Exxon Mobil, to an oil rig off the coast of Texas. Those on the receiving end of the call (who were not in on the joke) had mixed reactions — some were supportive, some were just confused.
