Cheetos Popcorn, Pop-Tarts Pretzel, Coke Energy, Mtn Dew Zero Sugar and Bud Light Seltzer all have two things in common: They’re all new additions to a brand’s product lineup, and they’re all focal points of ads airing during the Super Bowl.

This Sunday, several brands will be putting their latest offerings on display in Super Bowl ads, a time-honored tradition when it comes to advertising in the Big Game. It makes sense. In a world with more video content options than ever (including ad-free alternatives like Netflix), opportunities to run commercials in front of a large television audience are slimmer than ever—and events where audiences are actively interested in watching the ads are even fewer still.
