Colombian superstar, Shakira, has joined forces with a singing sandwich called Mr. Cheese for the promotion of the Sabritas Food Pairing campaign. Their latest video clip showcases the ideal match of potato chips and a sandwich while singing Lalo Rodriguez’s hit song ‘Ven, devórame otra vez.’
In an effort to promote the pairing of Mexican potato chips with sandwiches, Sabritas utilized the Food Pairing platform.
