To celebrate the Chicken Strip Basket deal and NEW! MVP Dip Lineup, DQ is teaming up with mascots at the University of Oregon, Illinois State University and University of Kansas for a fun social campaign.

The playful spots, including the first video, which is now live on DQ social channels, put The Duck, Reggie Redbird and Big Jay bird mascots in the spotlight as they react to fans' growing enthusiasm for the DQ Chicken Strip Basket and the NEW! MVP Dip Lineup, proving the new dips and deal may be enough to ruffle a few feathers this season.

"The Duck is one of the most recognizable personalities in college sports, known for bringing infectious energy, humor and an unmistakable presence to every game day experience," said Kelly Schukart, Vice President and General Manager at Oregon Sports Properties.
