In Videos: Shawn Johnson, Paul Hamm, and Morgan Hamm Ortega Commercial
To witness one of the most awkward celebrity-endorsed food product commercials ever, check out this commercial from Ortega featuring Olympic gymnasts Shawn Johnson, Paul Hamm, and Morgan Hamm. Get past the low production value and the most unconvincing praise ever given to the Ortega-branded foods, and you will be rewarded with Shawn Johnson declaring, "It makes my taco pop." Interpret that as you wish—if you need any help you can ask the Internet.
I really wanted this commercial to be fake, but after seeing this promo I'm horrified to think that this commercial was actually approved. Watch the video after the jump.

Hold old is it? I'll be surprised if it's recent, seeing as the Hamms didn't make it to Beijing due to injuries. Although maybe that made them cheaper.

Wow, that was poor.
What happened to the old days when they just put their mug on the cover of a Wheaties box?

Yes, that well kept secret of tacos. A crunchy taco shell.

This is really insane. I can't believe this is on Serious Eats.

YTMND got to it: Makes my taco pop.

Hey now, wait a damn minute! Hamm's "taco double twist" is a blatant rip-off of Taco Bell's "Double Decker Taco". I demand this commercial be removed from the Internet, and never aired on TV, or I will sue for taco copyright infringement. ;)

Aren't you? lol

I was like... totally into her taco getting popped and everything... and had to refrain myself from posting certain sexual things... but then realized she's only 16. So now it's creepy and I bet we're all probably going to hell for this. Pretty sure.
