This Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will face off in Super Bowl LV. While the game is the pinnacle of the season for fans, the Super Bowl has become more than just a football contest. The Super Bowl has become a global phenomenon beloved by NFL diehard and non-football fans alike.
One reason the Super Bowl has become an iconic event for more general entertainment fans is its seemingly endless parade of creative and innovative commercials. Often humorous, sometimes touching and always expensive, Super Bowl ads have become an attraction all their own.
According to Rick Suter of USA Today, a 30-second spot during the CBS broadcast of Super Bowl LV has cost advertisers nearly $5.
