Hopefully Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul got an RV full of cash for reprising their Breaking Bad roles as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman in the new Super Bowl ad for PopCorners, a popped corn snack.
The 60-second spot features sanitized versions of classic Breaking Bad dialogue. “Yo,” Jesse says after eating White Cheddar flavor and taking off a gas mask, “These are the bomb!”
“And they’re air popped, not fried” Walter replies in the same steely tones with which he used to discuss meth. Soon they’re proffering the PopCorners to old pal Tuco Salamanca (Raymond Cruz), who samples the stuff in an auto junkyard and freaks out. The blue bag is perhaps not as stimulating as other blue products, but if you find yourself with a nostalgic itch, there are worse ways to scratch it than checking out the commercial below.
