Every year, Doritos, the tortilla chip producer owned by PepsiCo, hosts a competition that gives fans the chance to create an advert that will appear during the brand-loaded Superbowl.

Super Bowl ads are known for generating buzz—and viewers—but not all creatives are created equal. Chrysler courted controversy and won kudos for a two-minute Super Bowl advertisement that was less a car sales pitch than a rousing political message in election year. Chrysler ignored the unwritten rules of Super Bowl advertising – to be brief and funny, for the second year in a row. But it was still voted best ad of the event. Volkswagen’s The Dog Strikes Back was a distant second and M&M’s dancing candy ad polled third (results here).

Catching the eye this week, the wee orange electoral roll man is back for another round in a pretty cool numerical and alphabet-themed campaign; the Doritos ads out of Australia look set to resonate with your typical corn chip eater; the All Blacks get stuck into some Coke Zero (inside word: Dan Carter sucks Coke in the ad but didn’t swallow during the filming); Allison’s Pantry ramps up the cheese; and the new Sorbent ad is a pretty good effort in this category (much like this ad for Sorbent toilet paper in Aussie).
