Super Bowl Sunday came and conquered, and it was, as always, about much more than just football. The big game's always a showcase for companies to roll out their newest, wildest innovations, and for ad agencies to sell those products and services in ads that are more like mini-movies featuring celebrity cameos and dazzling special effects. Beer company commercials led the charge before Sunday's game. But food brands, car companies and online services came in strong too. Wanna relive the ads? Keep reading.
