How do you make Lay’s Potato chips the coolest chips around for an audience that spends hours and hours eating crisps while watching YouTube but doesn’t pay enough attention to ads?
If you’re Happiness Saigon, an FCB alliance, you solve their most annoying crisp-eating problem. The crunch of chips makes it hard to hear the audio – and Lay’s is the crispiest chip of all.
Happiness Saigon has developed a plug-in for Google Chrome that detects the sounds of crunching chips and automatically turns subtitles on for the YouTube video being watched.
The team trained an AI on 178 hours of crispy chip crunch sounds gathered from around the world, to create a one-of-a-kind plugin which is able to detect and activate subtitles from the second it hears a crunch, so viewers can snack without missing a single thing.
This “revolution in snacking” is available for free on the Google Chrome store globally. Try it out here.
