M&M's debuts ad campaign teaser, featuring ring with diamonds made from M&M's Peanut Butter candies
Ahead of M&M’s upcoming Super Bowl LVIII campaign, the brand just dropped the first teaser for its ad. In the :60 teaser video, M&M’s reveals that its partnering with three NFL Hall of Fame Legends and “almost champions” who just missed earning a Super Bowl ring in their respective Big Game appearances—Dan Marino, Terrell Owens, and Bruce Smith.
Usually only the Super Bowl winners walk away with a championship ring, and the runners-up get nothing. But M&M’s is changing that by providing comfort when it’s needed most for this trio of “almost champions.” The brand created the first-of-its-kind “M&M’s Almost Champions Ring of Comfort,” featuring real diamonds made in a specialized lab from M&M’s peanut butter candies (yes, you read that right).
The video spotlights the beloved M&M’S characters providing comfort to the trio of NFL Legends by introducing them to the custom ring and explaining how it was made:
- The largest individual diamonds on the face of the ring were created by exposing M&M’s peanut butter to a high-pressure environment—including 3,000°C temperatures and 800,000 pounds per square inch of pressure—before grinding and grading the diamonds into their final form.
- In addition to the M&M’s peanut butter diamonds, the 14K gold ring is adorned with a diamond-encrusted replica of M&M’s Orange character and a secret internal compartment to house a single Peanut Butter M&M's.

Oreo and Kris Jenner team up for the Big Game
This year, Oreo is bringing a twist to advertising’s biggest stage, the Big Game, by introducing a spot portraying the cookie as a key part of iconic moments since the dawn of time.
“Twist On It” explores a reality where every major decision—from the extinction of the dinosaurs to aliens making contact with Earth—was decided on by the twist of an iconic Oreo cookie.
Kris Jenner makes a cameo appearance within the spot, with a clip that takes viewers to a flash back set mid-2000's where the Jenner is seen twisting an Oreo cookie to make the decision that would redefine reality TV and propel her and her family to superstardom.
“Twist On It” introduces a new way for the iconic Oreo cookie to show up in pop culture and encourages consumers to consider their favorite cookie as a trusted decision maker.
The Oreo brand’s second-ever in-game spot comes more than ten years after the brand’s viral “Dunk in the Dark” tweet during the game in 2013 and will air in the second quarter of The Big Game on CBS on February 11.
