Snickers - #EatASnickers
After McDonalds, Snickers not only engendered a buzz on Twitter during Super Bowl but also prompted chuckles. The DVC was not only surprising but also wistful.
Snickers released the teaser of their DVC and said that they would release the complete ad-film only if there were enough retweets.
This is it. Check out the SNICKERS Super Bowl commercial sneak peek: http://t.co/NsMwD1EdFW #SB49 #EatASNICKERS
