These Are the Most Memorable Food Super Bowl Ads in History

Besides the star athletes or the halftime show, the biggest attraction each year during the Super Bowl are the ads. Super Bowl commercials are big business: a 30-second spot during Super Bowl 50, which airs Feb. 7 on CBS, is selling for as much as $5 million. Some of the world’s most popular products have been introduced during the annual NFL Championship game, including Apple’s groundbreaking Macintosh personal computer, released to the world via the computer company’s legendary “1984″ ad.

Aside from launching products, brands also want to create viral moments fans will be talking about and sharing with friends long after the game ends.

Car makers, beer breweries, and snack products hustle hard to sell their goods and create those viral moments, using the likes of talking animals, scantily clad women, and celebrity stunts to get consumer’s attention. This year, Aerosmith is set to star in a Skittles ad, comedians Amy Schumer and Seth Rogen will pal around for a Bud Light commercial, and Taco Bell is planning to reveal “its biggest food creation ever” during the game. Before the new ads air, let’s reflect back on the most memorable food commercials from year’s past during the Super Bowl.
