Frito-Lay to pay homage to Groundhog Day with eight different TV ads

Published



Chip brand Frito-Lay will air a barrage of commercials on Groundhog Day, which are meant to pay homage to the 1993 film of the same name.

The brand released eight commercials that will air Friday, all of which feature actor Stephen Tobolowsky checking out at a grocery store with a different flavor of Lay’s chips. Tobolowsky’s character becomes aware and frustrated that he is living the same event over and over again, in the same vein as what happened to Bill Murray’s character in Groundhog Day.
