Another Super Bowl has come and gone, and with it, a whole new batch of high-profile commercials. Given that we're a beverage reviewing site, I'd like to take a look at the non-alcoholic drink ads that graced our TVs during the matchup between the Cardinals and Steelers.

BevReview.com takes a look at the beverage-related Super Bowl commercials. This Coke commercial — part of the new "Open Happiness" campaign — features a bunch of bugs trying to steal a bottle from a guy in a park. Lots of CGI and a cheery music score make this a happy spot.

BevReview.com takes a look at the beverage-related Super Bowl commercials.

Fanta Wildberry is a pretty nasty drink. It has a flavor profile that I most similarly associate with Crystal Light's Raspberry Ice flavor… but with carbonation and a not-nice aftertaste. It's very syrupy and in no way represents any berry flavor I've ever experienced. A very fake-tasting soda.
