I wish I believed they were self-aware enough to be trolling, because that would be . But it's really more

Horse-feeding strap + beer-hat for the doritos and dew seems unprecedented. >_>

Well....

It's just that associating these brands reinforces an existing stereotype that is already an object of ridicule and introducing it with prototypical empty PR speak completes the picture. It can't even be satirized because it is a perfect satire already, and yet it is actually a real thing.

Kinect 2 will see that you're eating doritos and drinking mountain dew, detect which flavours you prefer and order them automatically whenever you finish a bag/bottle, charged on your Live account.

Your favorite snacks will be sent right at your doorstep for maximum convenience, even when (you think) your XBox One is turned off.

And don't worry about Kinect always having a camera pointed at you. The software is made so that the Kinect can only see Doritos and/or Mountain Dew, so it's completely blind to everything else.

No one will be watching you. Only your snacks. For your convenience.

Just want to say your post is the definitive succinct description of this situation. at the bold part.

I didn't miss that. That doesn't mean that they didn't have to sign off on it.

It looks like a parody, but it's not.
