In 2016, the small town of Kiester, Minnesota, gained national attention as the filming location for a [[Preparation H]] commercial. The advertisement humorously capitalized on the town's name, which phonetically resembles "keister," a colloquial term for the buttocks. The commercial featured residents and local landmarks, creating a playful and memorable connection to the hemorrhoid treatment product.

The response from Kiester's community was notably positive. Residents embraced the attention and the humorous nature of the commercial, finding it an amusing and unique way to put their town on the map. The commercial not only provided a boost in local morale which had recently suffered from recent school and business closings, but also highlighted the town's ability to engage with humor and light-heartedness. This event marked a distinctive moment in Kiester's history, showcasing the town's charm and sense of community to a nationwide audience.
