Hidden Gems and Subtle Tributes Found in this Year's Super Bowl Commercials
Taco Bell's Super Bowl ad this year has sparked excitement and intrigue, with Adweek analysing it multiple times to uncover hidden gems. However, a thorough search of current results does not reveal any specific Easter eggs, references, or inside jokes related to Taco Bell's feud with Doja Cat or direct calls-outs to McDonald's.
While Taco Bell is known for incorporating playful cultural references and celebrity cameos in their campaigns, no direct instances tied to the aforementioned feud or McDonald's references in Super Bowl ads have been documented. To fully explore these hidden Easter eggs and inside jokes, one might watch the official Super Bowl advertisement compilations for Taco Bell, Doja Cat, and McDonald's, check social media platforms like TikTok and Twitter, and follow entertainment news on sites that cover Super Bowl ads.
In the meantime, Taco Bell has indeed trolled McDonald's in their Super Bowl ad, with a loudspeaker announcement stating, "Attention students, the ice cream machine is still broken." This is a nod to McDonald's infamously broken ice cream machines, a common complaint among customers.
Adweek has invited readers to join in the fun by tweeting about any Easter eggs, references, inside jokes, cameos, and homages they spot in Taco Bell's Super Bowl ad. The ad contains elements that require close observation, and Adweek has identified some of the gems already.
