Bob CollinsThe lure of the Super Bowl ad has been fading in recent years, perhaps as the suspense of the actual game has increased.

A Facebook Live broadcast will show Marcos Menendez from Canoga Park, Calif., watching the ad.
And after the game? You still won’t be able to see the ad.
“At this point we absolutely have no plans to show this ad beyond Marcos during the Super Bowl,” said Matt Montei, vice president of fruit confections at Mars.
