Super Bowl pop-culture element

Watching Super Bowl commercials is an annual pastime of many Americans, and thanks to the internet, it is also popular around the world. Therefore, Super Bowl attracts many high-profile companies to advertise and enhance their visibility. In 2018, the companies which showcased their products, included Amazon, Budweiser and Febreze, just to name a few. That year, 91 commercials were shown during the Super Bowl broadcast, amounting to a total ad time of 49 minutes and 31 seconds. The average cost of a 30 second commercial spot during Super Bowl 2018 was 4.51 million U.S. dollars, an increase of 140 thousand dollars compared to 2018.
One of the major attractions of Super Bowl is the Halftime Show, which represents a fundamental link to pop culture, and has popular singers performing. In 2019 it was officially known as the Pepsi Halftime Show, where Maroon 5 led the stage, along with rappers Big Boi and Travis Scott. The halftime show that year was veiled in controversy linked to Colin Kaepernick's protests against police brutality and claims of NFL's unjust treatment of the player. As a result the show was reported to garner negative reviews and lowest rating in a decade.
