Devour, Kraft Heinz Springboard platform’s three-year-old disruptive frozen food brand, has released its ‘uncensored’ 60-second Super Bowl commercial, and it’s inspired by porn addiction.

To promote the brand’s “mouthwatering and craveable line of frozen meals,” according to a release, the new ad shows how Devour food is so good, it is actually frozen food porn.

The brand’s first-ever Super Bowl spot tells the story of a girlfriend who is struggling with her boyfriend’s insatiable addiction to frozen food porn. He can’t stop watching, eating, and at one point even smelling Devour at home, in the office, and even in his garage.

The spot uses all the stereotypes of porn addiction, from the man’s embarrassed quick closing of his laptop as he views a bowl of pasta to sticky hidden magazines and spent napkins under the bed, to a pretty blatant masturbation sight gag.

The girlfriend tries several tactics to entice him away from his habit, making him a romantic homemade meal and even watching amateur food porn videos, but her efforts go flaccid. Frozen food porn has already made him into a “three-minute man.”

The brand has an ambitious plan to build excitement around the campaign in the lead-up to the Super Bowl. It is launching 1-83-FOODPORN, the first food porn hotline with seductive descriptions of mouthwatering frozen meals. Hungry callers can imagine laying in a bed of tender noodles, cozying up with melty cheeses, or treating their taste buds to smoky sausage and hunks of Angus beef. The hotline will be live through the game.

Devour is also partnering with Barstool Sports to launch the Devour RV, a man cave on wheels for Barstool personalities to take on the road to Atlanta.
