Meghan Markle Has to Follow All of These Intimidating New Etiquette Rules

Before she was tasting lemon-and-elderflower wedding cakes for her royal wedding to Prince Harry, Meghan Markle was crunching into a popular party snack. Or, at least, acting like she was — and getting paid for it. 

Like many actresses, the former Suits star had a lot of seemingly random roles before nabbing the job that helped her make a name for herself. (Briefcase model, anyone?) And, as it turns out, shilling for Tostitos was one of those gigs. 

In 2009, the California-born beauty starred in a commercial that featured her standing in a grocery store, seriously contemplating which snacks she was going to pick up for a bash. (And we mean seriously. Wait till you see that furrowed brow!)

And, thanks to a candid voiceover, we get to hear the future royal's entire thought process as she makes the selection. Riveting television indeed! (Seriously, though: It does make us want a crunchy snack — the lovely Markle, who has always been poised, could sell us just about anything.) Check out the clip below.
