Okay my dear Internet readers, I have the awesomest news:
Last week, right after I put up my contact form, I got an e-mail from a woman (I’m not sure if I’m allowed to name her or not, so I’ll play it safe) who works for Weber Shandwick with a contest offer! This is awesome for two reasons: 1) I have never had anybody offer me anything to give away on my site before and 2) The offer is for Pepsi stuff. PEPSI. As in the caffeinated goodness that flows through my veins instead of blood because I drink so much of it. As in holy crap, IT’S PEPSI. Offering stuff to giveaway on my little site! So without further ado:
Here is the prize: The Ultimate Pepsi Super Bowl Party Pack: • 1 football • 1 beverage pail • 1 snack helmet • 2 key chains • 2 hats • 2 t-shirts • 5 Pepsi 24 pack coupons • 5 Frito Lay coupons
Neat, right? I put it in bold because it is exciting!
Here is how to win: Leave a comment in the comments section of this post before Sunday night telling us about your favorite Superbowl Commercial of all time! It doesn’t have to be Pepsi-related (hello, who can forget the Budweiser frogs?), just as long as it originally aired during the Superbowl it qualifies. Don’t worry about repeating, as long as it is Superbowl commercial-related, your name will get entered into my magic prize paper bag. On Monday morning I will pick a name out of the paper bag!
Here’s the legal stuff: Must be a US resident to win (their rules, sorry outside of US readers!). Can’t be related to me (my rule to keep the shady-ness at bay). Must be old enough to enter a contest without needing a signed note from a legal guardian. Must feel comfortable e-mailing me your mailing address if you win (because I’ll send that on to the prize people and they will mail you your prize).
Honestly, I’m so excited! My very first giveaway, how exciting is this?!?

Thank you for the awesome giveaway! Yes – I think I have Pepsi instead of blood, too. I still really like the old commercial of the “other soda company” and Mean Joe Green who tosses his jersey to a young fan.

well I can’t enter because I’m Canadian and since I’m Canadian we get totally shafted on the superbowl commercials. They cut pretty much all of them out of the Canadian broadcast and we get lame regular commercials. Sucks. I know.
Very cool that you got to host a contest though!

THis is weird to admit but I’ve never had a Pepsi. If I have a cola it’s always a Coke.
Now that I right it it seems so crazy.

I’m going with the herding cats commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk7yqlTMvp8), because it still cracks me up.
Also, Mountain Dew flows through my veins.
The End.

I love the 1984 Microsoft commercial:

Congrats on your first giveaway – what fun you must be having. ( Although it would be more fun to use it yourself, right! ) Anyway, I hope this counts because it hasn’t been shown as a Super bowl commercial yet, but the Frito Lay site has a contest with 5 awesome commercials and one of them will be chosen for the Super Bowl. There is one where a guy is crunching Doritos and each crunch makes something funny happen. It really is a great commercial. (If it doesn’t count, then my other favorite has to be the Bud frogs. ) Have a great Super Sunday!

Holy smokes, E, you’re in the big leagues!
Boy, it’s been a while since I even saw a commercial. But the legendary Apple vs Big Brother commercial of 1984–if you’re like me, you studied it in Jr English–whips just about anything ever made. But the Budweiser frogs are super cute!

The McDonald’s Michael Jordan/Larry Bird commercial is my favorite. After all, MJ can do anything.

I liked the Tabasco one where the mosquito bites the guy after he’s had the hot sauce. The mosquite flies off and blows up. Hilarious – and if only that were true! Very nice that you get to have your first giveaway. Thank you.

I thought the Monster.com commercial was cute. The one where the kids say how they want to “claw their way up to middle management” or “have a brown nose”. It’s so true lol.

It’s a tie for me – the Bud frogs and the Microsoft commercial. Thanks for the contest and I wish you many more emails where people offer you stuff to giveaway – would be a lot of fun, I think.

My favorite was the Budweiser “Frogs” commercial from 1995. Bud … Weis … Errrrrr.
