Snacking while watching movies has become a deeply ingrained ritual for many. It’s more than just satisfying hunger; it’s a way to enhance the viewing experience and create a sense of comfort and enjoyment. The combination of visual stimulation and the anticipation of a delicious treat create a powerful synergy, transforming a simple act of eating into a pleasurable event. The act of choosing and preparing snacks, from popcorn to chips (especially potato) and dips, adds to the anticipation and excitement of the movie night.
Furthermore, snacking provides a tangible link to the emotional journey of the film. The act of munching on a favorite snack creates a sense of shared experience, allowing viewers to connect with the characters and the storyline on a deeper level. The act of sharing snacks with loved ones further strengthens this connection, fostering a sense of togetherness and creating lasting memories. The simple act of reaching for a handful of popcorn during a suspenseful scene or sharing a piece of chocolate during a romantic moment adds a layer of emotional depth to the viewing experience.
Such a phenomenon became even more exciting when I heard that the worlds of snacking and entertainment announced a thrilling new collaboration as Mister Potato Philippines joined forces with Netflix’s worldwide acclaimed Squid Game for its much-anticipated second season. The partnership introduces the “Crunch to Win: Mister Potato x Squid Game 2” campaign, an interactive contest designed to engage fans and consumers alike through a series of exciting challenges with coveted prizes. Running until January 15, 2025, the campaign invites consumers to join the fun by finding the hidden symbols inside the specially marked Mister Potato Crisps canisters that could unlock the chance to win weekly prizes, including Squid Game Funko Pop figures and vouchers, as well as the much-awaited trip to South Korea grand prize.
Mister Potato’s collaboration with Squid Game is a major step in bridging the gap between entertainment and consumer engagement. By connecting a popular snack brand with one of Netflix’s most successful series, the campaign taps into the growing trend of interactive brand experiences that extend beyond traditional advertising.

The “Crunch to Win” contest is simple yet engaging. Consumers who find hidden symbols inside the metal ends of specially marked Mister Potato Crisps can use these symbols as tickets to enter the contest by submitting their entries on the Mister Potato Philippines website at www.misterpotatoph.com.
The excitement builds with weekly winners receiving P1,000 worth of vouchers and Squid Game Funko Pop collectibles, while consolation prizes include rewarding bundles of Mister Potato products, vouchers worth P1,500, and exciting Squid Game merchandise.

As fans anticipate the return of Squid Game, the campaign taps into their excitement by offering an interactive way to feel part of the action. “This collaboration with Netflix is about more than just cross-promotion,” the spokesperson added. “It’s about offering a new kind of experience, where our product becomes part of the fun and excitement of a global entertainment event. It’s not just a snack anymore; it’s a gateway to an adventure.”
