Um. Hey. Marvel Studios ... what are you guys doing when it comes to promoting *Avengers: Doomsday*? It was all ready weird enough when you tried to make people buy tickets to *Avatar: Fire and Ash* just to see a handful of teasers for the next *Avengers* movie. (A movie that apparently didn’t make enough money for the third *Avatar* movie.)

Most of these flavors will be exclusive to specific regions, with the United States getting Lay’s Argentinian‑Style Steak with Chimichurri, Lay’s Brazilian‑Style Garlic Sauce and Lay’s Wavy French Onion Soup.

This category covers way more ground than anything we’ve yet seen for *The Rundown*. Commercials, movie trailer parodies, songs, even Digital Shorts — anything that was recorded before an episode was fair game here.
