Lay's – Our lovely grandparents


Naturally irresistible”, aren't they ? This TV commercial shows the grandparents we love.
They are struggling with each other for crisps, and when the man seems to have won, his wife shows him this is not the end as she holds his dentures in the hand. Her mischievous smile highlights the love between them, showing us they have lived together for a long time and they know each other by heart.

Their grandson comes back and takes the crisps without seeing the scene (or without taking the time to understand the scene). He just kisses his grandfather and then leaves. Without crisps, they are lost, they seem not to realize what is happening.




So, okay, the message is: our crisps are so “naturally irresistible” that everybody wants to eat them, even your grandparents.
But I think that what makes the ad effective is the image given of the relationship between us and our grandparents. Sometimes they don't understand nothing to what we are living, and sometimes we don't understand them well. But we love them as they are. And that's the most important.


What a comical advert with a touching couple, don't you think so ?
