According to Cheetos, 99% of people snack with their dominant hand and The Other Hand campaign imagines what it would be like to continue snacking and go about daily life completing important tasks with a non-dominant hand. Cheetos' newest campaign captures a sketch artist's failed drawings, plastic surgeon's botched procedures and other humorous predicaments that loyal fans might face as a result of refusing to put their snack bag down.
"From missing high-fives to daily task mishaps, this campaign is an ode to the fans who will do anything for their favourite snack," said Tina Mahal, SVP of marketing at PepsiCo Foods North America, in a press release, "We’re showing the world that it’s okay to use your Other Hand and embrace the mess.”
Through a series of out-of-home ads and a 30-second video, Cheetos playfully dramatizes the consequences of a snack too good to give up.
