The narration and text at the end of the commercial claims, “one taste and you’re in love.” Like the Peppermint Pattie commercial, there are plenty of sexy close-ups of the chips as well as the actress. Close-ups of the actress’s facial expressions as she slowly procures the chip evoke a flirtatious courtship ritual: she bats her eyes demurely, smiles coyly, and bites her lip in anticipation of the salty goodness she is about to partake. The sexier of the two features Al Green’s soulful “Let’s Stay Together,” while the other more playful version is set to Queen’s “Crazy Little Thing Called Love.” Both feature an attractive white woman holding a Lay’s bag, slowly opening it, and removing and then consuming a single chip. The video is the same in both ads, but set against different pieces of music, the effect is very different. There are at least two versions that I’ve seen.

There are two others featuring white actresses, one with short hair and one with a bob, and one featuring a woman of color.Īnother recent example is a series of commercials for Lay’s Potato Chips. York Peppermint Pattie–get the sensation.” The current ad is only the latest in a series of similarly styled ads, each one featuring close-up shots of different, but equally attractive, actresses passionately eating the candy. The sultry female voice over coos, “The chill of peppermint, the rich dark chocolate. Complete with ‘money shots’ of the candy itself, it has all the makings of food porn including close-ups of the actress lustfully anticipating the first bite, slowly opening her mouth, and licking her lips in satisfaction.
It features an attractive young white woman tearing open a Peppermint Pattie, breaking it apart, biting into it, and relishing in the ecstasy that follows. The latest one I’ve been repeatedly subjected to is a television commercial for York Peppermint Pattie. I don’t know about you, but I’m really tired of television commercials modeled after pornography-food porn, that is.
