Revisiting Super Bowl 54: 2020's top commercials

WASHINGTON — With Super Bowl 55 between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs right around the corner, many are looking forward to watching the game or seeing what commercials air between all the action.
Some big-name companies like General Motors, Jimmy John’s, Sam Adams and Frito-Lays have already released teasers for what to expect. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, some big companies have announced that they will not be making a Super Bowl commercial.
For the first time since 1983, Anheuser-Busch will not be featuring its Budweiser brand. Instead, the company announced it would be donating the money to coronavirus vaccination awareness efforts.

The Anheuser-Busch move follows a similar announcement from PepsiCo., which won’t be advertising its biggest brand, Pepsi, in order to focus on its sponsorship of the halftime show (It will be advertising Mountain Dew and Frito-Lay products still). Other veteran Super Bowl advertisers like Coke, Audi and Avocados from Mexico are sitting out the game altogether.
So, let’s look back on some of the top Super Bowl ads from 2020:
