MISSISSAUGA, ON, Feb. 7, 2024 /CNW/ - Canadian fans are gearing up for Super Bowl Sunday. While they cheer on their favourite team, crunch on delicious snacks, and take to social media to talk about the half time show, there is one thing they miss on game day - the epic U.S. Super Bowl ads!

According to a 2024 survey commissioned by Doritos,1 nearly eight out of ten Canadian Super Bowl fans believe that watching the U.S. ads makes the Big Game more exciting.

With that in mind, Doritos Canada reveals its bold new campaign, 'As Seen in Canada', that aims to give fans a taste of iconic commercials they might not get to watch! The campaign features actor Amrit Kaur and comedian Gerry Dee 're-enacting' Super Bowl commercials as best they can, in a hilarious effort to give Canadians the full game day experience. Well, kind of…

With Gary Freedman, the legendary Super Bowl director at the ad's helm, fans will get an experience like no other that's sure to inject some fun into watch parties across the country.

1 Data sourced from an online survey conducted by Edelman Data & Intelligence (DXI) among 1,507 Canadians 18+ that fielded January 15-16, 2024. 

"Doritos is no stranger to the Super Bowl. With a long-standing history, Doritos has always shown up in a bold way during the Big Game. And this year is no different! This year, we're bringing Canadian fans a special Super Bowl experience, delivering the Big Game ads in an unexpected way. We're also bringing back our fan favourite Sweet & Tangy BBQ chips to give fans another bold way to celebrate," said Jess Spaulding, Chief Marketing Officer at PepsiCo Foods Canada.

Gerry Dee adds, "Partnering with Doritos was an easy yes for me! I'm excited to help create more hype around the Big Game in Canada. This year, Canadians can sit back and enjoy the Super Bowl while watching the 'As Seen in Canada' ads and eating Doritos."

"I love how Doritos is bringing a different type of Super Bowl to Canada!" commented Amrit Kaur, "The campaign is all about elevating Canadians' game day experience by giving fans a fun, light-hearted ad to watch during the game. I'll be watching the game this year, with a bowl of Doritos Sweet and Tangy BBQ chips of course!"
