WNY Man Wins $1 Million Dollars During Super Bowl Contest
Even though the Buffalo Bills were not in the Super Bowl this year, there was still a winning connection to Western New York.
A SUNY Brockport alumnus and former part-time radio host in Rochester was able to win the $1 million dollar prize offered by Mt. Dew during a special Super Bowl promotion.
According to allaccess.com, Ryan DePaul was able to correctly count how many Mt. Dew bottles with the Jon Cena commercial that aired during the Super Bowl.
To promote their new flavor Major Melon, MT. DEW had a contest for their SUPER BOWL commercial starring JOHN CENA. The commercial full of bottles of the new DEW flavor asked viewers to count all the bottles in the commercial with the first person to guess correctly and tweet it winning $1 million dollars.
Watch The New Gremlins Mountain Dew Commercial
If you were a kid in the 1980s, or you just love 80s movies, you have seen Gremlins. That s the movie where the teenage boy gets a VERY unique pet from his dad.
While at a toy show, the kid s (Billy) father bought the mogwai from an old Chinese man. The man explains that there are several rules to owning a the pet, who gets named Gizmo. You cannot feed it after midnight, you can t put them in direct sunlight, and you can t get them wet.
Sunlight hurts them. When they get wet, they multiply (like rabbits or tribbles). It s even worse if you feed them after midnight, though. When that happens, they turn into Gremlins - evil reptile creatures.
