In a rough economy, how can record Super Bowl ad sales be explained?

Super Bowl heavyweights GM and Fedex aren't even in the mix this year.
Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

In a recession more people are likely to increase their alcohol consumption, and the Superbowl is typically a time and a place where people go to drink and party, therefore I believe the advertisers saw this as the perfect time to capitalize on getting people's attention and advertise to them.

Because advertising wise it makes sense:

"The way a lot of companies justify paying three-million dollars for an ad is by saying -- look at the numbers. The viewership of the game compared to the investment is relatively low compared to other advertising opportunities," said Shoffner.

"Take the Oscars: you pay less for the Oscars but you're actually paying more per viewer than during the Super Bowl," he said.

A 30-second television ad in the Academy Awards in 2007 cost 1.67
million dollars -- about one-third less than the same spot in the
Superbowl. Forty million people watched the Oscars that year, less than
half the 90-million-plus who watched the Super Bowl.
