Barrista En Flambe writes "Interstellar spam will be the latest addition to the long list of British inventions as astronomers at University of Leicester prepare to beam a 30-second Doritos advertisement to a planet circling a star 42 light years from Earth. The transmission is being directed at a solar system just 42 light years away from Earth with planets that orbit its star '47 Ursae Majoris' (UMa)."
