Many Super Bowl advertisements have become iconic and well known because of their quality, unpredictability, humor, and use of special effects. In recent years, advertisers have also attempted to stand out from others by producing ads with cinematographic qualities, and ads that channel emotions and real-world issues.

Coca-Cola, which took a hit due to the closure of stadiums and movie theaters during the pandemic, said it wouldn't advertise this year to ensure it's "investing in the right resources during these unprecedented times," the AP reports.

Tommy Okon, 9 when the ad was filmed, is now 46, living in Yonkers with his wife and four kids, and running a stone fabrication company in the Bronx. His association with the commercial hasn't dogged him, he said, because it's not as if people recognize him or ask him about it daily.
