In a teaser for the upcoming Doritos and Mountain Dew Super Bowl commercial, PepsiCo released a 15 second ad pitting narrating genius Morgan Freeman and Game of Thrones' Peter Dinklage against each other. Face Off: DORITOS BLAZE vs MTN DEW ICE is a two-in-one advertisement that features products both made by parent company PepsiCo. Although the Doritos and Mountain Dew Super Bowl teaser is suggesting a show down of epic proportions between the tortilla chips and soft drink, it is clear that the two go best together (much like the two A-list actors starring in the spot).
Titillated viewers will have to wait another week until Sunday, February 4th, 2018 -- also known as the biggest night in football -- to see the whole thing go down.
