And I love Budweiser, the King of Beers. I admit it without shame or reservation. I love how it tastes. I love it ice-cold, not petri-dish warm like some foreign swill. I prefer it in a bottle.

Stella Artois, the NFL and Novartis also got plenty of love, as most advertisers relied on humor and nostalgia.

This is the ninth time Budweiser has won USA Today’s Ad Meter competition, which is now in its 37th year. The rankings are the results of public scoring ads from 1 to 10. Budweiser’s ad scored 3.56.
