A Doritos advert about a father who suspects his son to be gay is going viral for all of the right reasons. The ad was released by Doritos Mexico at Christmas and has found its way into LGBTQ members’ hearts across the globe.
Based on a true story, the ad has been viewed 14 million times. Titled “El Mejor Regalo” which translates to “the best gift”, the video is narrated by the father who notices there’s something more between his son and “friend” Manuel.
Unsure on what to do, the father turns to Reddit asking for advice, “Hello, I’m a 52-year-old divorced father and need some help, I think my son and his friend are a couple and he won’t tell me”.
