Asian American Commercial Watch: Snickers Crisper – “Internship”

https://youtu.be/ldqhTv01t8w

I caught this Snickers commercial about their new candy they are launching called Crisper:

AACW_Snickers_Crisper“Crispy satisfaction is on the horizon with new SNICKERS® Crisper – a delicious combination of crisped rice and peanuts topped with a layer of caramel and coated in creamy SNICKERS® Brand milk chocolate.Boasting multiple textures, SNICKERS® Crisper delivers on its satisfaction pledge with the chew of caramel and the crunchy crispiness of rice and peanuts. Singles packs feature two pieces, each with 100 calories, allowing for a snack for now and another for later.”

What I like about this commercial is that it shows an Asian American college student boasting about his partying ways – kind of breaking with the “Model Minority” stereotype, though I have to say the glasses he is wearing are kind of geeky.

Not sure I totally get the premise of the commercial, but nevertheless I found it entertaining.
