"Power Of The Crunch" Overview
A man with a bag of Doritos, on a city street, takes a bite of one and notices the clothes fly off a woman that is walking toward him. He excitedly goes to a bank machine and when he crunches another Dorito, money flies out. When an officer of the law approaches, the man eats another chip and the officer turns into a monkey. While standing in the street, he notices the bag of Doritos is empty and gets run over by a bus.
