WASHINGTON – A Maryland native is just votes away from debuting his ad during the next Super Bowl.
Raj Suri, who grew up in Ellicott City, Md., created an ad that is currently one of five finalists in this year’s Doritos Crash the Super Bowl contest.
In the ad, titled “Time Machine,” a man eating a bag of Doritos is duped by a little boy running a time machine scam.
Suri, who is a software engineer in Arizona, says it cost a total of $300 to shoot and produce the commercial.
“The support has just been incredible,” Suri says.
The winning commercial not only airs during the Super Bowl, but the winning team receives $1 million.
