HI y’all, it’s your Bitter Ex again.  Okay, so I sat through the ENTIRE Super Bowl game, and I was fine.  Let’s face it: it was nice to see the Eagles win.  Nothing against Brady or the Patriots, just nice to see a different team win.  And, it wasn’t a blow-out, which was extra nice.  Pink did a good job with the National Anthem, I thought, so that was good.  No fights broke out on the field. Even Justin Timberlake’s outfit didn’t bother me, although comments on social media differ.

So, what’s to be bitter about?  The dang Budweiser commercial!  What’s up with no Clydesdales?  Seriously?  Doesn’t Budweiser know that their commercial is the ONE commercial that we can count on at every Super Bowl?  Can’t stand the taste of Budweiser myself, but who cares?  What happened to the ONE thing I look forward to…which is the beautiful Clydesdale horses?  I mean c’mon, Budweiser.  It cost companies  5 million dollars to air a 30-second commercial during the Super Bowl game.  Crazy, maybe, but Budweiser makes billions each year!  So, what happened?

According to Ricardo Marques, Budweiser exec, he stated that he knows that the Clydesdale horses are a BIG fan fave.  Well, then, why not have a commercial with those beautiful horses?  Instead of having a commercial with those beautiful horses, and giving us fans one thing to actually look forward to, Budweiser decided to “honor the horses” by giving the horse a “5-second bumper spot in the second quarter to promote a live feed of the horses on Budweiser’s FB page”.    Whatever.  Marques said that every year they hear the fans’ request for more Clydesdales.  So, Budweiser’s  response to that was to “honor them (the Clydesdales) and  America’s long-standing love for beer and Budweiser” by putting a live feed of them (the Clydesdales) on their FB page.

That’s sweet and all, but let’s be honest.  We watch the Super Bowl for the Clydesdale commercials.  And, 5 seconds of seeing a Clydesdale horse is NOT going to cut it. Bring back our Clydesdales!  I don’t have a long-standing love for beer.  I have a long-standing love for Clydesdales!  Give us something to look forward to in a commercial again.  Bring back the fan fave Clydesdales!   Enough said.
