Lay’s Chips created technology that activates YouTube subtitles when it hears you munching potato chips

Lay’s Potato Chips have released a plugin Lay’s Crispy Subtitles for Google Chrome that detects crunching chips’ sounds and automatically turns subtitles on for the YouTube video you are watching.

The creative agency, Happiness Saigon, an FCB alliance, knew that people love to snack while they’re watching their favorite You tubers, but when you’re crunching and munching, it can be hard to hear the audio. And Lays is the crispiest chip of all.

To solve this problem and make the video watching experience better for everyone, Lay’s Crispy Subtitles was the answer.

The team trained an AI on 178 hours of crisp chip crunch sounds gathered worldwide to create a one-of-a-kind plugin that can detect and activate subtitles from the second it hears a crunch, so viewers can snack without missing a single thing.

This revolution in snacking is available for free on the Google Chrome store globally. Try it out here
