For Sabrina Carpenter, even a disastrous relationship is better than nothing. The pop star's new Pringles-made boyfriend, dubbed "Pringleleo," has taken center stage in her latest commercial for the Super Bowl. In the ad, Carpenter and Pringleleo are seen enjoying a luxurious dinner, cruising around LA, flying kites, and cheering on sports teams - but their idyllic romance is quickly derailed when her obsessive fans descend upon them.
As the Pringles corpse lies motionless before her, Carpenter quips, "I think the relationship ran its course... But you never know!" The line serves as a tongue-in-cheek defense of her art, which has been criticized for its perceived superficiality. Carpenter's response acknowledges that her music may not be for everyone, but she's undeterred.
When asked about potential future boyfriends - perhaps even made from a liquid snack - Carpenter reveals an affinity for Yerba Mate, the South American herbal tea she wrote about in her hit song "Skin." Her enthusiasm is palpable as she envisions Pringleleo 2.0, which she dubs "Yerbaleo."
Fans may be left wondering what's next for Carpenter on stage at Coachella, where she'll debut a new concert concept sans penthouse. While the details remain under wraps, one thing's certain: Sabrina Carpenter won't be playing it safe anytime soon.

Pringles 2.0? More like Pringles 1.0 for me 
. That Yerba Mate connection is fire too! Maybe we'll get Pringleleo 2.0 next? Stranger things have happened, right? 
And what's up with the Pringles boyfriend? Like, who comes up with this stuff? 
It's not even a real relationship, it's just some marketing gimmick. 
Anyway, I'm more concerned about Sabrina's music. She's got talent, but her songs always feel so... superficial. At least she's owning the criticism and moving on. Fingers crossed for that Coachella debut though! 
I mean, can you blame her? The girl's got talent pouring out of every pore and people just wanna hate on her for having fun with who she wants! 
Let's all try to be a little more like Yerbaleo, aka Pringleleo 2.0... whoever that might be 
.
it's like, good on her for owning her art. but omg what if erbaleo becomes a thing?? 
.
️. cant wait 2 c what she does next @ coachella, even if its a lil unconventional 
But seriously, what's next for Sabrina Carpenter? Is she trying to distract us from the real issues with her music being criticized for being too superficial? And now this whole Pringleleo/Yerbaleo thing... is she just trying to rebrand herself as a fun, carefree artist? I don't think so. She's been writing about Yerba Mate and that song was all about embracing individuality. This whole thing feels like a power move to me - she wants us to see her as more than just a pop star, but also someone who's confident in herself and her art. And hey, if that means making fun of her own music, so be it! 
She's like, "Okay, my music might not be for everyone, but I'm gonna make more of it anyway" 
And can we talk about Pringleleo? That's the most random thing I've ever seen in an ad 
Those two are meant to be 
But, tbh, I'm a little salty about the commercial being so extra 
!
Come on, girl, you've got talent, don't settle for novelty 
. Still, I'll be keeping an eye on her Coachella debut – if she pulls it off, maybe we can give her another chance 
.
Sabrina Carpenter is a talented artist, don't get me wrong, but sometimes these celebrity stunts make me wonder if they're more about the brand than the actual art. And that commercial with her lying next to the Pringles corpse... It just feels so weird and attention-seeking. I'm all for a little controversy, but this feels like just another PR stunt. I hope she's not trying to pass off superficiality as depth with that whole "I think relationships run their course" thing... Give me something more substance, you know?
