10 Weirdly Pretentious Adverts That Make No Damn Sense

9. Lays €“ Fireworks

I have a huge problem with potato chip commercials, especially Lays. So often we are forced to watch women who probably haven't eaten a single potato chip in the last thirty years of their acting careers reach an orgasm after putting a Lays potato chip in their mouths. It's ridiculous and stupid, but hey, it gets the point down. It makes us hungry for potato chips and because you can't walk five feet in the US without hitting a convenience store, we aren't far away from a bag. This commercial, though, was different than the rest. Different in a bad way. It takes a good two thirds of the commercial, misleading as ever with its tribute to good old 'mrican folk music, to even reveal that it is a potato chip commercial, which isn't a good sign. How do they choose to introduce the product? By having them shoot up from the ground and explode in the sky and rain down on everyone's faces of course! Because potato chips are always doing that, said no-one ever. As always, it never fails that all of the chips are perfectly circular and none are broken, like in real life when it comes to Lays. I was underwhelmed with the advertisement and, for the first time, I didn't want to eat Lays.
