An advertisement from the 1970s for Lay’s Potato Chips showcasing their new quick meal product.
Why it was selected –
Advertisements are no strangers in the Nevermind Museum. As trivial as they may seem, each one was created to move us in one form or another using the era’s sights and sounds. Like the television shows they framed, they act as a snapshot of the time’s ideal life. Many have been lost to history. Advertisements have short lifespans and can look aged when put against the newer offerings. Sometimes 30 seconds can tell you a lot about the place where it once lived.
