Doritos made an impressive appearance during this year's [Super Bowl commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doja-cat-2), introducing its 'Now It's Hot' advertisement. It celebrates its latest product, the '[Flamin' Hot Doritos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doritos-flamin-hot-koreanstyle-bbq)' and features nostalgic boy band the [Backstreet Boys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iced-ep) co-starred alongside Chance the Rapper. To tap into fond memories of the 90s, the commercial creates a parody of Backstreet Boys' iconic 'I Want it That Way' song.

The commercial begins with Chance in a studio taking his first bite of the spicy nachos before falling into an imaginative state of himself driving in a hot pink car. This is when he starts rapping over the retro song, theming it around the new spicy snack -- he joins the boy band in a collective dance number to the song's chorus.
