  After winning a twitter war to see who could reach 1 million followers first, Kutcher pranked CNN. Kutcher had promised to fill Ted Turners house with ding-dongs but when he dropped by the station to fulfill his promise Turner was no where to be found. Instead, Kutcher took a U-haul truck full of the cupcakes to Turners restaurant Montana Grill. A group of people helped Kutcher unload the 800 boxes of Ding Dongs that they sat right in front of the restaurant. As they placed the boxes in front of the restaurant each person rang a bronze bell.
