To use the Bunny-fier app, just snap a picture with an iPhone and place bunny ears over the target of choice. It's that easy! Starting on September 16, Nesquik invites everyone who shares a bunny-fied photo via Instagram or Twitter to include the hashtag #NationalBunnyEarsDay with their posts. Nesquik will share some of the best pictures in its "Breaking Out The Bunny" photo gallery on Facebook.

"We're very excited to launch a fun, new iPhone application and a cheerful holiday that brings friends and families together," said Chad Patterson, NESQUIK brand manager. "NESQUIK is all about bringing a little fun and lightheartedness into each day, as represented by the iconic NESQUIK Bunny. So before summer officially ends next week, we want to give people everywhere one more chance to 'Break out The Bunny' and capture all the mischief."

Just as NESQUIK transforms milk into rich, chocolatey deliciousness, The NESQUIK Bunny makes ordinary moments extraordinary by adding a little mischief and fun. That's why he encourages people to make his trademark bunny ears in photos with unsuspecting family and friends—and there's no better time for this lighthearted prank than National Bunny Ears Day.
