Have The Slots Gotten Too Expensive?
Coca-Cola will not run an ad during the Super Bowl this year. Instead the iconic beverage company will show a commercial before the game starts. Ads during the big game on CBS this year will cost up to $5.3 million. Before kickoff, they are reportedly half of that. According to Coca-Cola, its commercial before the Super Bowl will focus on diversity. The ad will feature cartoon characters telling viewers that the drink is “for everyone.”

Ad Acreage Holdings, a U.S. marijuana company, says CBS rejected its 30-second commercial. George Allen, president of Acreage Holdings, said the ad doesn’t focus on its products but shows how medical marijuana has helped people deal with pain. The company will publish a 60-second version of the ad on its website. Allen said his company was willing to spend up to $5 million on a spot during this year’s big game.
