Ahead of the release of 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,' the Marvel franchise has partnered with Doritos to release a Doritos Guardians chip bag with an unbelievable feature. In honor of Star Lord's (the main character from the franchise) affinity for seventies bangers, the Doritos Guardians bag comes with a functional music player loaded with songs set to feature on the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 soundtrack.
In Guardians, one of Star Lord's signature traits is his cassette deck that he frequently listens to during moments of action. Jumping on this trait, Doritos built a bag with a functioning music player embedded within it, and consumers can plug in to listen to the smooth seventies tracks that the film franchise has become known for. The rechargeable musical bags will be made available on Amazon starting this Friday.
