Super Bowl XLIV is upon us, so foodiggity went ahead and scoured Adland’s extensive commercial database to bring you a few classic food spots. If you’re the type that feels that the football game just interrupts the commercials, then you might remember some of these… And you should also reexamine your priorities. Go Saints.
McDonald’s, Big Mac (Super Bowl IX, 1975)
Is there anyone who wasn’t able to sing this jingle by the time they were 5? Where did they find these people?
Mott’s ‘Clamato’ (Super Bowl III, 1969)
Hydroponic tomato anyone?
Paul Masson, featuring Orson Welles (SB XIV, 1980)
I’d listen to the man… He knows his wine.
Burger King, featuring Elisabeth Shue (SB XVII, 1983)
Before she was Ali with an “i”, Elisabeth Shue starred in seizure-inducing commercials for BK.
Miller Lite, “Evil Beaver” (Super Bowl XXXII, 1998)
There’s a tasteless sex joke in here somewhere, but foodiggity is above that sort of thing.
McDonald’s, McDLT (Super Bowl XX, 1986)
A horny French skunk is no match for a dancing, singing George Constanza.
Bud Light (Super Bowl XLIII, 2009)
One of the many reasons that we’re with Coco.
Coca-Cola (Super Bowl XIV, 1980)
If this 30-year-old commercial does not still give you chills, then you have no soul… Or you’re a Browns fan.
