Google turns to potato chips to promote Pixel 7 phones in Japan

Alphabet Inc’s Google is bringing back its Original Chips snack in Japan, offering flavoured potato chips branded with the company’s name to promote its upcoming smartphone release.

Google launched the first version of the campaign last year to publicise its Tensor processor – the first of its kind designed in-house and the product of four years of development.
