On Sunday, the United States Football League's annual championship game of the Super Bowl "(Super Bowl) start in New Orleans, this is the most nation's blood boiling annual event, also the highest ratings of TV programs. Technology giants, including Blackberry, Samsung will not hesitate to invest heavily to promote their flagship product advertised during live matches.

However, come as early as inferior to the clever. Yesterday, in the third quarter of the San Francisco 49ers against the Baltimore Ravens game 13 minutes 22 seconds, the stadium suddenly suffered a power outage. Such unexpected incidents no doubt so the organizers embarrassed, but it provides an excellent advertising opportunity for the three companies.

The two companies, Oreo and Audi are the game's TV ads Lord; Walgreens does not launch television advertising. This second largest drug and grocery retailers in the United States, in the "Super Bowl" tournament only "advertising" is two tweets, but seemed to work really good: one is forwarding two thousand times, another forwarded three thousand times.
