Shaedon Wedel asked his friend Carson Wittmann's sister, Carli, who has Down syndrome, to prom. He wore a custom Doritos T-shirt and tweets of the video plea to his prospective prom date caught the attention of the chip maker last month.

Can't wait for prom with this sweet gal

So Doritos sent two red helicopters to pick up Wedel and Carli as well as Carson and his date Saturday. A Wisconsin couple sent Carli a fancy evening gown so she could complete her dream of being Cinderella.

"This is absolutely amazing, this is so cool," Wedel told the Kansas City Star. "Such a cool experience. Especially to do it with her though: to be able to have her this happy, it's all I wanted."

Doritos also gave Carli a year supply of chips.
