"Crash the Super Bowl 2011: Make them Yours" is a contestant-submitted commercial for Doritos. It has two parts. In part one, a young man backs into a pedestrian.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T_DiTPoy-A&feature=player_embedded He looks out to access the damage and sees a hand reaching for a bag of Doritos. The driver promptly backs over the woman a second time and tries to take her cheese snacks.
