CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

January 11, 2021 JMG Community, Open Thread

You might want to reach for a bag of chips and some tissues after watching a Doritos Mexico ad that is lighting up the Internet with its sweet message of acceptance.

The two-minute commercial was released over the holidays in Mexico and is called “El mejor regalo,” which means “the best gift” in Spanish. Based on a true story, the video has been viewed more than 14 million times on YouTube.

It’s a sweet moment that makes viewers forget they’re watching a chip commercial until Doritos rainbow pride logo flashes on the screen. The chip brand has been highlighting LGBTQ stories for the past year as part of its #PrideAllYear campaign.
