Budweiser has been a big part of Super Bowl commercials as long as most of us can remember. They’ve got the frogs, the iguana and – of course – the Clydesdale horses.
This year, they’re really highlighting the Clydesdales because a baby Clydesdale was born just a couple weeks ago, weighing in at 150 pounds.
So, Budweiser is asking people to help them name the baby through its Twitter account and Facebook page. How convenient … just in time for the Super Bowl.
Not surprisingly, several Clydesdales, including the new baby, will appear in a new 60-second commercial that will run during the big game.

If the Super Bowl was determined by the healthiest city, the San Francisco 49ers would be the champions.
