George Strait’s Super Bowl Commercial Is Out Of this World
The rest of the country (including the Carolinas) weren’t treated to this. The man, the king, the GOAT, George Strait in a Super Bowl commercial? How great is that?! HEB is a grocery store chain that is as Texas as horses and boots. In college, I don’t think I ever shopped anywhere else. FYI-if memory serves, the chain was begun by a North Carolinian named Howard E. Butts, but I’d have to check on that. Anyway, the commercial sets up with one of these Elon Musk/Jeff Bezos orbital rocket launches about to happen. However, the countdown is stopped as a car is racing toward the capsule and a man with an HEB sack of groceries gets out.
When the entry door to the capsule is opened and there’s Strait waiting on his order? Are you kidding me? I would have loved to have been watching this game in a Texas bar. The moment this came on the screen, I guarantee you the place erupted. What a great idea. And what a shame HEB isn’t a national chain so we could have all had that moment.
