The Bud Light Lime Super Bowl commercial suggests it is a beer that can create summer during any time of the year.
A Super Bowl staple since 1989, the Bud Light Lime ad is just one of several Super Bowl XLIII commercials from Anheuser-Busch InBev. In fact, the adult beverage company is one of the biggest advertisers for the 2009 Super Bowl, reportedly purchased four and one half minutes of ad time at approximately $2 million per 30-second spot.
