If you were on Snapchat, Facebook or not living under a rock, then you were aware that the 49th Superbowl took place last Sunday. The Superbowl is one of the most watched events in the United States each year. However, if you aren’t a fan of the teams playing or sports, then you were probably sleeping, binge-watching your favorite show on Netflix or being a good student and catching up on homework. So, if you weren’t watching the game, aren’t a fan of football, and only tuned in after to watch The Blacklist, then here are some important things you might have missed.
Food
Look, we all love food. You don’t have to be a football fanatic to enjoy the traditional Superbowl foods. A Superbowl Sunday without food is like a fish without water. What other time of the year can you eat pizza, wings, nachos, potato skins and desserts on the same day and not feel guilty?
Halftime Show
Do you not like football but like fireworks, elaborate dancing and lights? Then, the halftime show is just for you! This year’s Superbowl performer was Katy Perry with a special appearance by rockstar and Katniss Everdeen’s stylist Lenny Kravitz. Also, Missy Elliot made a spectacular return back to American mainstream with a melody of her greatest hits. However, the performers that stole the show were Katy Perry’s dancing sharks. The Left Shark especially stole the hearts of the American public with his groovy dance moves.
Commercials
This years commercials featured special celebrity appearances, animals, and dads. Some highlights of the Superbowl commercials included Mindy Kailing being invisible, Steve Buscemi as Jan Brady and Walter White’s return. However, there were some emotional commercials courtesy of Nationwide, Nissan and Dove. These commercials will be on television for the months to come as well as Youtube, so don’t worry if you haven’t seen them yet!
