The Super Bowl broadcast is notorious for drawing a large contingent of non-football fans who watch for the commercials and the half-time show. Now, an Alberta liquor store is offering a trio of Super Bowl-themed six packs ahead of Sunday’s big game, including one targeted at the newest group of NFL fans.

Watch for the commercials

Is the most 🤮 American thing I've heard today

The superbowl is the one of the only times commercials are entertaining in their own right. The advertisers pay a huge amount of money to get that spot so the put a massive amount of effort to make them.

That being said you don't gotta watch for the commercials. You can just watch them online later... If you want.
