Chips on the side? Yes, please! I’ve just got to have something crispy to accompany my sandwiches. I’ve grabbed plenty of bags and tins off grocery store shelves over the years, so I decided to go ahead and rank my favorites that have earned a permanent or semi-permanent place in my cabinet. I’m not including too much by way of explanation in this list, but please feel free to analyze my selections yourself to see if you can figure out my taste bud profile.

Well, here we go, this is the space where I’m going to talk about the commercials that aired during the American broadcast of Super Bowl LIX.

The major trend of Super Bowl LIV’s ads appeared to be Collaboration. Multiple spots promoted multiple products, what with Charlie Day asking everyone what to do about his stain and Sofia Vergara teaming up with the Old Spice guy and the Charmin bear with the clean heinie to take care of a chili spill. As for my own particular personal reactions, it felt so good to laugh again!

Before I get to the rankings, I would like to note that at the viewing party I attended, it was hard to hear the ads during the first half, but thankfully by the third quarter the acoustics were much more favorable. If any early spots looked like they deserved reconsideration, I made sure to re-watch them on YouTube.

5. Minions: The Rise of Gru, “Get Ready” – Usually I don’t include movie or TV trailers in these rankings, but this is Minions (set to “Sabotage”), so obviously I had to make an exception.
