The digital video recorder maker tallied up how many times Super Bowl viewers replayed the Pepsi commercials starring soda pop star Britney Spears. There are no exact figures, but TiVo says Britney got a lot of replay-time -- more than the game itself! The joy of cola indeed! This may be proof that TiVo isn't the death of commercials -- it's proof that advertisers can benefit if they make their product interesting.
