7. Katy Perry – Popchips
Though Popchips is a perfectly respectable brand as far as chips go, this is one unusual pairing. Katy Perry’s stint with the brand came after the brand’s embarrassing campaign involving Ashton Kutcherwhich viewers called racist. Perry’s ads aren’t necessarily offensive, but they are still pretty embarrassing. In addition to a poster that shows the star holding bags up as if they were breasts (“Nothing fake about ’em”), there’s also one in which she’s a vampire and commercials in which she’s accompanied by her crime-fighting partners “The Popcats.” Not only was she a part of advertisements, but she was a Popchips investor and even had her own flavor, Katy’s Kettle Corn. She was eventually ditched by the brand, which decided to advertise sans celebrities as to not overshadow the brand itself.
