As if recieving a settlement for millions of US dollars for a lawsuit against Facebook wasn’t enough, the Winklevoss twins Tyler and Cameron, have shown a sense of humor, and made a little extra cash presumably, by starring in an ad for Wonderful Pistachios poking fun at their notorious Facebook legal battle.
The twin brothers accused Zuckerberg of duping them by stealing their idea while they were students together at Harvard, a story recounted in the box office hit movie “The Social Network.”
They inked a settlement two years ago that got them $20 million in cash and $45 million worth of stock valued at $36 per share.
But the twins have sought to re-open the deal, arguing that Facebook held back information about the California-based social networking firm while reaching the $65 million settlement.
The pistachio nut makers have also recorded ads with a character from the Angry Birds video game, monkey actor Crystal, and Lucy and Charlie Brown from the “Peanuts” cartoon strip.
