Unless you live under a rock or are simply out of touch with pop culture, it's hard not to have heard of Jennifer Aniston. The famous actress, arguably best known for her role as Rachel Green on the iconic sitcom Friends, is such a popular figure in Hollywood that she even has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Yet none of that fame matters in a new 30-second spot for SkinnyPop, where Aniston enters a hotel holding a bag of SkinnyPop popcorn as she checks into her room.
As she approaches the front desk, the woman assisting her mentions that she is a huge fan — leading Aniston to assume she is talking about her. However, she quickly realizes her assumption is wrong when the woman clarifies that she loves SkinnyPop.
As the ad progresses, Aniston states her name for the reservation, but the staff is too distracted by the mesmerizing bag of SkinnyPop in her hand to find it. Still confused by the interaction, Aniston watches as both the woman assisting her and another hotel employee grab handfuls of popcorn, all while failing to complete her check-in.
Aniston, a SkinnyPop enthusiast herself, noted in a statement, "SkinnyPop is popular for a reason (wink, wink). When this partnership came up, it was so easy to say yes. I personally love SkinnyPop, and I was able to collaborate with a director I absolutely adore."
Overall, the spot is a funny and lighthearted way to highlight that SkinnyPop is a delicious snack that should be placed at the top when considering snack options — especially since it is much less processed than many other choices.
Also, Aniston does a great job in the spot that made me want to go grab some SkinnyPop, as I was watching it.
