[Lay's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lays-super-bowl-ad) Kettle chips have been given the royal treatment in terms of advertising. There has been a billboard built in San Fransisco that was entirely hand-carved from wood.

The billboard reads 'All Natural Ingredients; Crafted with Care' which also refers to the production of the billboard as well. Lay's Kettle chips have definitely been given the natural treatment -- even when it comes to the production of its advertising campaign.

**Implications** - Ad campaigns like this excite me to no end. After being bombarded with shapeless marketing from companies for most of our lives, it's easy to discern and appreciate a company that comes up with an innovative or memorable idea. Lay's hit a homerun here.
