Do you love seeing how imaginative and creative some of America's biggest brands can become in those much-watched Super Bowl ads? While it's all an effort to get your attention and your extra money, did you notice that the foods and beverages featured in the Super Bowl commercials aren't healthy? We decided to look at how many calories a single serving of each Super Bowl advertiser's food and drink will set you back.



Doritos
One ounce of Doritos, about 12 to 14 chips, has 150 calories. And if you've ever had these cheese-dusted snacks, you know one serving is nearly impossible.

Coke and Pepsi
Soda is a dieter's worst nightmare, diet or otherwise. It's full of and caffeine, which our bodies just don't need. One ice-cold, 12-ounce can of Coke contains 143 calories, and one can of Pepsi contains 150 calories. If you're trying to lose weight, cutting this out of your diet should be priority one.

Bud Light
Beer is an empty calorie bomb, and while the light versions are better, there's still no nutritional value. One 12-ounce bottle of Bud Light has 110 calories. Now, multiply that by the three, four or more you consumed during the game! Budweiser's other brand Stella Artois? A 12-ounce serving has 154 calories.

Pizza Hut One slice of pan crust cheese pizza is 390 calories. That's a good calorie goal for an entire lunch! Go with thin crust loaded with veggies to stay around 200 calories per slice.

Snickers You won't believe it but a single regular-sized Snickers bar has 280 calories. If you really have a craving for this "hunger-fighting" candy bar (it doesn't, just FYI), grab a Snickers miniature for 45 calories.

Lipton Brisk The one redeeming beverage advertised during Super Bowl? Iced tea from Pepsi. Stick w/ the original, which has zero calories. The lemon, peach and raspberry flavors all have 160 (more than a soda!)
