Katy PerryPop and roll! Katy Perry is the new spokesperson for popchips

Pop singer Katy Perry has added something new to her repertoire — she’s the new spokesperson for popchips. Who doesn’t love talking about a great-tasting snack? Seems Katy was so happy about her discovery of a healthier, tasty chip that she tweeted about it, and the rest is pop history!

Katy must really like these chips. Not only is she the new face for the chip, she’s an investor, too.

Popchips offers an alternative to fried and baked chips. According to popchips, there are “no fake colors, no fake flavors, no preservatives and no fluorescent orange fingertips” associated with their popped potato chips. They pop their chips without using oil in the process.

Watch for Katy to appear in the company’s first national ad campaign in the fall.
