The Stranger Things official twitter has a sequence of emoji in their twitter bio:

🌻🌬️🌈➡️➡️➡️⬅️⬅️⬅️⬅️4️⃣5️⃣0️⃣

They've also tweeted about 🌻🌬️🌈 occasionally, even asking followers to come up with explanations for it.

On the Netflix banner advertising Season 2, an 'Upside Down' Netflix could be accessed by clicking on a glowing area on the right side of the screen. Hidden in this Nega-flix was another instance of the pattern (in this case, 🌻🌈 450) , hidden as handwritten text over the "Children & Family Movies" section.


Hawkins Power and Light

A poster was found in a NYC subway advertising the fictional company Hawkins Power and Light, from the Stranger Things universe. When the phone number appearing on the ad is called, 1-888-355-8703, the caller is prompted with a menu containing a series of options:

Transcript of menu:

 To learn more about our mission, press one. 
 For news and updates, press two. 
 To report an outage or suspicious activity, press three. 
 For hours of operation, press four. 
 To listen to customer testimonials, press five. 
 If you would like to learn more about Hawkins Power and Light, press six.

When option number four is selected, the transmission is interrupted with a sequence of tones. These were identified as dtmf, resulting in the following string: 5309746849872

Additionally, some callers were given the option of submitting their address, and later received a box of Hawkins-related items.
