Not many Philly-related Super Bowl spots this year, but there are these:
Princeton-based Bai Brands LLC, its $1.7 billion acquisition by Dr Pepper Snapple (NYSE: DPS) just completed, is running an ad featuring Justin Timberlake, and, Timberlake says, a guest. Could it be Fallon?
This is a teaser for the ad:
This is the Bai ad, featuring Chistopher Walken with Timberlake:
Eighty Four, PA-based 84 Lumber's initial ad was rejected by Fox because it showed a Mexican mother and daughter, who appear to be on their way to the United States, running into what seems to be a large border wall. 84 Lumber had to edit that out.
This is part 1 of the ad that will run today. The full original version can be seen online at halftime.

Kraft Heinz's ad is on the faux campaign its been running to make post-Super Bowl Mondays holidays. I assume that would apply to all its hourly employees, and would be a paid day off?
This is not the ad, but a promo spot for the campaign.
Honda's 'Yearbook' ad shows Tina Fey when she was in high school in Upper Darby.
