(WJBK) - One of Super Bowl XLV's most popular commercials was created by a native Detroiter. Tynesha Williams came up with Doritos' "House Sitter" ad, one of five consumer-created spots aired by the snack chip company during the big game.

Williams, who currently lives in Burbank, Calif., joined FOX 2 News Morning on Monday to talk about how she came up with the idea for the spot, which features a man using Doritos to bring a fish, flower, and eventually a grandpa, back to life during his house sitting session.

Williams says she came up with the idea while up late one night with her newborn daughter. "I knew that Doritos was a really powerful flavor," said Williams. "And I said, how powerful can they be?"

The spot took third place in Doritos and Pepsi's Crash the Super Bowl Contest , which means Williams will take home $400,000 in winnings.
