Super Bowl Trivia

50 weird things about the 50 Super Bowls. There's one fact listed for each of the 50 games.


In Super Bowl IV, the cost of one 30-second commercial was $78,000. Ads were going for about $1 million per 30 seconds by Super Bowl XXIX. Now it's close to $5 million. Budweiser can always be counted on to make a good one. It's interesting (more than the game itself, to me, anyway) to see who else comes out with a really good commercial.



At the time of Super Bowl XV, the Oakland Raiders were suing the NFL over a proposed move to Los Angeles.

Why?

And for Super Bowl XLIX, two words - Left Shark.

I Wish I Could Get a Game of Thrones Happy Meal

I want a Game of Thrones Sure-You're-Happy-Now Meal. (Because it couldn't be a Happy Meal. Happiness in Westeros doesn't last.)

It's true that I'm way past the demographic age that McDonald's intends for Happy Meals but let's not pretend that I'm the only adult who gets them.

What toy should come with it? Characters or plush dragons and direwolves? Or a code that would get me special speed gear for GoTA?
