Favourite Super Bowl Commercials

Like everyone else born in the 90s, I can’t wait to hear the upcoming new releases from the recently reunited Destiny’s Child, but I was unimpressed by Beyonce’s halftime show at tonight’s Super Bowl overall. Was it fun to see “Single Ladies” performed live? Sure, but I’d much rather see Shania or Madonna perform at the annual event again.

Watching the Super Bowl ads and reading my friends’ live tweets sure made me crave a cold drink – specifically a Budweiser beer or Pepsi. I settled for a cold bottled Starbucks’ Frappuccino and browsed YouTube to narrow down my top picks from the 2013 Super Bowl TV spts. Sit back and enjoy!

Labatt Brewery Tour

With only a few months left at Western, it’s time to complete my London to-do list. Inspired by a keynote speech by Jorn Socquet, VP of Marketing for Labatt Breweries of Canada, I was determined to visit the hidden gem that is Labatt’s local manufacturing plant.

For only $10 admission, anyone of legal drinking age can book a tour lasting about two hours. Thanks to Jade, who’s a real estate agent by day and tour guide by night, my friend Akritee and I, learned a lot about the brewing process. Eager to emphasize how Labatt incorporates recycling and environmentally-friendly initiatives, Jade’s explanations brought new meaning to infotainment. Although it was frustrating to see one red-capped bottle fall under the radar of a worker whose responsibility is to notice recycled bottles with caps still on them, it was a fascinating tour overall.
