Lunar pod in ocean

Our just-back-from-the-stratosphere protagonists are stranded somewhere in the ocean.

But it gets worse.

Because expectations are so high forSuper Bowl ads, the Pringles spot generated lots of opinions on Twitter.

Chips in a bowl

Some loved it, some thought the ad fell flat.

OnTwitter, one user commented that the commercial “left me wanting a different chip company.”

On the same thread, another lamented that the stacks “didn’t get gross enough”.

The Chief who made the play?

None other than 27-year old wide receiver Byron Pringle.

That’s right, Pringle, as in the chip.

That’s some synergy, but a missed marketing opportunity that made Twitter sad.
