Edge On The Clock: Budweiser Will Spend Super Bowl Ad Money On COVID Efforts Instead

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – For the first time in nearly 40 years, you won’t see any Budweiser ads during this year’s Super Bowl. A commercial spot for the February 7th game is a reported $5.6M. Budweiser said it’s shifting the money it would’ve spent on a slot to support COVID-19 vaccine awareness with donations and future ad campaigns.

Plus, Apple is reportedly working on a new virtual reality headset. Bloomberg reports that the headset will mainly be used as an “augmented reality” device, like Sony PlayStation’s and Oculus’ virtual reality systems.

And, American Airlines is getting into the wine delivery business. The company says it has lots of leftover booze, since alcohol is banned in most cabins to stop the spread of COVID.
