The Doritos 'A Spicy But Not Too Spicy Plumber' video has been created by the brand with the help of actor Walter Goggins to showcase the flavor of the brand's latest snack chip in a decidedly steamy way. The video sees Goggins starring in a stereotypically spicy role that sees him as a plumber making a house call, only to reveal that he's truly only interested in fixing the water leak. The new Doritos Golden Sriracha snack chips are featured throughout to showcase their spicy but not too spicy flavor profile as a nod to the video's theme.
Senior Vice President of Marketing at PepsiCo Foods US Tina Mahal spoke on the Doritos 'A Spicy But Not Too Spicy Plumber' video and snack saying, "Doritos has always been about bold self-expression; however, we know our consumers appreciate nuance and complexity – some want heat that builds rather than overwhelms, and content that suggests rather than shows. By elevating Doritos Golden Sriracha, a globally inspired flavor that balances tanginess and sweetness with approachable heat, with a campaign that playfully subverts expectations, we hope to inspire fans to take a bite of what could be our next ‘mega-flavor.’"
