Watch the Stove (stylized in all caps) is the debut EP album by food brand Hamburger Helper under the alias Helper. It was released on April 1, 2016 through SoundCloud. [1]
The idea of a Hamburger Helper album came from a tweet in 2014, where the brand jokingly stated the mascot would release a mixtape. It became the brand's most-favorited tweet. [2]
The EP was released as an April Fools joke by General Mills in collaboration with marketing agency Ketchum Inc. [3] The title references the Jay-Z and Kanye West album Watch the Throne. It subsequently went viral on Twitter. [4] Within a week, the album had 5 million streams on SoundCloud. [5]
The EP was produced by a team at the McNally Smith College of Music and local Minneapolis artists. [6] Two music videos were shot. [7] Songs were required to be family-appropriate and contain no swear words. [8]
