Description

On a kitchen counter top sits a cassette tape boom box. A Breakstone's sour cream container, with little arms and legs, pushes the radio so it's facing a potato that's sitting on a cutting board. It reaches near the edge of the table, so the radio stretches the power chord from the outlet.

After climbing up on top of the boom box, the Breakstone's container presses play and "Keep On Loving You" starts playing.

The potato is still a potato, but we can tell from the Breakstone's open arms that "potatoes + sour cream = true love".

"Breakstone's. The sour-creamier sour cream your other food loves."

The boom box cliché is probably a reference to the John Cusack movie "Say Anything..." in which Cusack's character holds up a boom box outside his love interest's bedroom window. Although in the movie, the song that plays is Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes".
