The Winklevoss twins are back in the public eye, this time as stars of an ad for pistachios that cheekily references their legal travails against Mark Zuckerberg.
In the ad, “Mr. Winklevoss” snaps open a pistachio. Seeing it, his brother says, “Hey, that’s a good idea.”
“Cracking it like that,” the other replies. “It could be huge.”
“Think someone will steal it?” asks the other. “Who’d do that?” they ask in unison.
The ad is the latest stunt casting for the Wonderful Pistachios campaign, which has previously featured buzz-generating personalities like Snooki, Levi Johnston, and Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian-Odom. The brand has also run meme-friendly ads featuring Angry Birds and Keyboard Cat on its YouTube channel.
Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss are best known for claiming that Zuckerberg stole their idea for Facebook. The twins plus Divya Narendra received a settlement for a reported $65 million in 2008, but the three have since sued Zuckerberg again. Most recently, a judge dismissed their attempt to increase their 2008 settlement. It appears they may have finally given up on the case.
