Frito-Lay Likes the Data From Doritos' 'Crash the Super Bowl'

Facebook-anchored effort hits 100 million views

The Frito-Lay brand—which had anchored the effort on a microsite in years past—drew nearly 100 million views for the five finalist videos in the user-generated contest, breaking its record.
