If you have been watching TV since 1990 or so, especially during the daytime soaps, Must See TV, and nighttime drama, you've seen one or several of Desi's commercials. She has done several different versions of some of the commercials listed below:
TV Commercials
Mucinex Cough Mini-melts - 2007
Tostitos - 2006
(click on pic for short video)
Shown twice during the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl 1/2/2006
Desi says "I got it!"
Also shown once during the Rose Bowl 1/4/2006 with Texas 41 vs. USC 38 and
during the
Super Bowl
In this commercial is a guy named David Beeler who
is holding the bag of chips. David dated Desi when they attended the
University of Texas at Austin. David is in that new "Visa Check Card"
commercial where everything is on autopilot until he tries to pay with cash.
Everything falls a part at that point. You have seen it 100 times.
