"New Flavor Pitch" Overview
A salesman pitches his latest idea for a new Doritos flavor, to Frito-Lay company executives. Because he likes to drink beer, he proposes that for the new flavor. During his talk he continually crunches on Doritos, stating that each chip contains the equivalent of a 16 oz. beer. The executives think it is a terrible idea and we find the man drunk, in his underwear and snoring on the shoulder of an executive, by the end of his presentation.
