Super Bowl 2017 All About Commercials Especially Budweiser Humble Immigrant Roots

Culture

Like more than a few others, I'm not a huge NFL sports fan or Super Bowl watcher. But that doesn't mean I won't be one of the millions of viewers watching the 51st Super Bowl, since the commercials are so entertaining and always among the year's best. And, in that regard, it's sure looking like Super Bowl Sunday 2017 is shaping up to be the most anticipated one ever.

Leading up to the big game, there certainly has been an avalanche of advertising buzz: 75,000 social posts related to Super Bowl advertising, including 40,000 mentions just within the past seven days, according to international social media analytics firm Talkwalker.

So which brands are leading with the most pre-game Super Bowl ad hype based on number of social media mentions? In first, second, and third place respectively are Snickers, Skittles and Mr. Clean.

Snickers is debuting what they're billing as the first live Super Bowl commercial ever and the buzz around it has included more than 1.4 million YouTube views of the teaser. 





Not to be outdone is Skittles which received a very warm reception on its Facebook post featuring hashtag #TasteTheRainbow and Seattle Seahawks super athlete Marshawn Lynch bringing the candy to Houston, Scotland. Then, there's the all-new and buff Mr. Clean. I mean, who wouldn't want a guy who doesn't look this to do all your housework for you?

Meanwhile, award-winning advertiser Anheuser-Busch is coming up from behind like a dark horse to air another memorable Budweiser commercial meant to move emotions. Unlike recent years, though, in 2017 it won't be the loveable world-famous Clydesdale horses that deliver the brand's message. Instead, this made-in-America beer company will roll out its commercial Born the Hard Way, spotlighting its humble beginnings with a tribute to immigrant cofounder Aldophus Busch. 

Take a peek at the newest chapter in this American tradition: the trailer for the Budweiser 2017 Super Bowl commercial which was just released on YouTube today...




How timely, considering all the current unrest surrounding immigration and refugees here in the USA which has been particularly poignant during the past week. It will be interesting to see how this ad messaging impacts public opinion long after the winner of America's biggest sporting event of the year has been crowned.

Groupon Family Friendly Coupons Save You Lots of Money on Things You Buy Anyway

Deals

This is a sponsored post. All opinions are mine.

#GrouponCoupons 

Raising kids and saving money in today's world, with ever rising expenses both for luxury items and basics, can be a huge challenge. As I've learned by personal experience, Groupon is the place to go for the best deals in town, including many of the necessities as well as fun experiences that I need or want to buy for my kids and family. 

Last year, for example, we took our whole family on an unforgettable hot air balloon ride at sunrise over the rolling hills of a vineyard, saving hundreds of dollars via Groupon Coupons on what tickets normally would have cost. This is something I don't think we would have ever experienced had we not seen a Groupon deal for this.

And, just a few weeks ago, my hubby surprised my horse-loving daughter who was home visiting from college with a horseback riding adventure not far from where we live -- at a fraction of the price it would have cost us to book reservations directly with the horse stable. 

Then, there's the time when we took our kids on a fabulous whale watching voyage off the coast of California after finding another Groupon deal that was too good to turn down.

We also regularly save big bucks on Groupon by buying coupons to go out to eat. For example, we just bought a $10 Groupon coupon redeemable for $25 worth of food at a local restaurant we've been going to for years and that everyone in our family of six loves. 

What's more is my fashion savvy daughters are going to be thrilled to know that right now Groupon has 79 coupons for various great deals good at their all-time favorite store to shop: Forever 21. Talk about stretching your fashion dollars to the max.

This solution to frugal living is too good for me not to share with all MBE's like-minded thrifty readers. You can save big money online, too, for a surprising range of fun and practical purchases online and in brick-and-mortar stores in your local area for products and services every member of the family will likely appreciate.

As you can see, Groupon is not only a must for shopping on a budget for the essentials of every day living. By taking advantage of it, you can also go to so many places: on the ground, sea and in the air!

About Groupon
Groupon offers a huge mobile and online marketplace where every day families can discover and save on a seemingly endless amount of things to do, see, eat and purchase. For more information and to start saving visit Groupon.com, you can also stay in the loop with frugal living by following the brand on Facebook and Twitter.
