The Superbowl is a football game that many people look forward to all year. A lot of viewers do not even like football but are there for the halftime show, commercials, and food. This year a ton of big brands like Coca Cola, Pepsi, and Budweiser decided not to make their highly awaited commercials and instead donated money to go towards COVID vaccinations. Although the most popular brands stepped aside this year, there were still commercials that many fans enjoyed.
