Anheuser-Busch, Reigning Champion of USA TODAY'S Super Bowl Ad Meter, Goes for Ninth Straight Win!

Story Summary:

When Super Bowl XLI airs across the country on February 4th, millions of Americans will be tuning in for the game...and the commercials. For the last eight years, Anheuser-Busch has topped USA TODAY's Ad Meter list, and this year they're going for their record ninth straight win.
The results are based on volunteers who chart their second-by-second reactions to national Super Bowl commercials. Volunteers use hand-held meters to register how much they liked or disliked an ad while a computer averages the scores continuously.
