I Appeared in a Super Bowl Commercial and Didn’t Even Plan It
Every once in a while, something happens in life that makes you smile years later.
One of those moments for me came in 2017 when I unexpectedly appeared in a Super Bowl commercial.
Now, before anyone gets too excited, I was not the star of the show, and I certainly did not become the next Hollywood celebrity. But for a brief moment, there I was, appearing in a commercial tied to one of the biggest television events in the world.
The Super Bowl is not just a football game. It is the single largest television event in America every year. Tens of millions of people tune in to watch the game, and many admit they watch just as much for the commercials as for the football.
Super Bowl commercials have become a cultural phenomenon in their own right. Companies spend millions of dollars producing them, hoping to create something funny, memorable, or clever enough that people will talk about it the next day.
And somehow, in the middle of all of that, I ended up in one.
The commercial was for PBfit powdered peanut butter. The concept behind PBfit is simple. Traditional peanut butter contains a lot of oil and fat. PBfit removes most of that oil, leaving a powdered peanut butter that you mix with water or add to smoothies and recipes. It gives you the peanut butter flavor with fewer calories and less fat.
It is a clever product, and the company decided to promote it in a playful commercial that aired during the Super Bowl broadcast cycle.
When the commercial was being filmed, I had no idea that it would eventually become something tied to the Super Bowl audience. To me, it was simply a fun little experience. A camera, a crew, a product, and a moment of curiosity.
Only later did I realize just how big the stage was.
The Super Bowl draws more than one hundred million viewers in the United States alone. That is roughly one-third of the entire country watching the same broadcast at the same time.
Think about that for a moment.
When you appear in something tied to the Super Bowl, even briefly, you are technically appearing to one of the largest audiences in the world.
That realization made the whole thing feel a lot more surreal.
Friends would text or call and say things like, “Wait a second… was that you?”
Others would send screenshots or clips, asking the same question.
For me, it was simply one of those unexpected life experiences that makes for a great story.
Life has a funny way of creating these little surprises. You think you are just doing something small or routine, and suddenly it turns into something memorable.
Will it win me an Oscar? Probably not.
Will it ever show up on my professional resume? Also unlikely.
But it does give me the ability to say something that few people can.
At one point in my life, I appeared in a commercial connected to the Super Bowl.
And that is a pretty fun little piece of trivia.
So if you have a minute and want a laugh, take a look at the video below.
Somewhere in there, you will see a familiar face.
And yes… that really is me.
