We are in the final stretches of the what is, annually, the biggest source of advertising dollars, the Super Bowl.

A mere 10 days away and those 30 second - $2 million+ ads will be in full swing. Ads that spend money to convince you to try their products. We don't see a lot of the 'good' ones in Canada, but the ones I have seen gives me the reaction of "ok, so what". Mind you, I don't watch football and won't watch the game since I am not in the running for any money in my football playoff pool.

How many items extra need to be sold to justify one or more Superbowl commercials?

I hope this one doesn't make it. Taco Bell featuring Carmen Electra.

2 Guys and a girl are enjoying some quality Taco Bell food product. Some double beef burito for $1.99.
The couple didn't believe the other guy that these quality double beef was only $1.99.
Then they bring up the 'lie' that he said before that he dated Carmen Electra (who hasn't, right?), and he corrects them, saying not only did he date her, but he dumped her too.

At the end of the ad, there's a banging at the patio door and it's Carmen Electra, begging him to take her back.

Now, I don't know the price tag for someone like Carmen Electra to appear in a commercial, but at least the product is right on the money.

After all, with the myriad of things that go into a Taco Bell product, if I was to personify that Burito (Or whatever) Carmen Electra would probably be the ideal person.

After all, we have no idea what's been inside Carmen either, so she's the human version of mystery meat.
