Free Doritos! Event = Success!

Thanks to the 50+ people who came out on that windy, drizzly Wednesday evening!

For those of you who missed out, here’s a little recap of what happened and some fun facts that the victors of the Crash the Super Bowl contest revealed:

- The Herbert Brothers kicked it off with a reel of their work so far and the media reaction to their Super Bowl victory. They really had the nation talking!

-Their home town of Batesville actually, not even kidding, threw them a parade upon their return home and made that day (February 24) Joe and Dave Herbert Appreciation Day. What do you have to do to get that honor here in Cincinnati?

-The burning question: how much did it cost? About $2,000. Costs included the vending machine (purchased from E-Bay), specially designed glass for the vending machine that was to shatter on impact, and food for the cast and crew. As a word of advice when feeding a crew that’s working for free, Dave told us to, “Feed them filet mignon if you have to.” However, after winning the contest, the #1 rated Super Bowl commercial and the $1,000,000, they paid the cast and crew plentifully.

-The snow globe that crashed through the vending machine in the commercial was actually a duct-taped bocce ball that they snagged from their parents’ house. Try pausing the commercial just before it hits the glass and you’ll see the real face of the “crystal ball.”

-Neither of them attended any sort of film school and have no plans to...ever!

-The Super Bowl fortunes gave Joe and Dave the opportunity to hire themselves. They’re now working at pitching their first movie out in Hollywood. Any plans to uproot and leave Batesville? Not if they can avoid it, but who knows what the future holds?

-For many years, the brothers have been crafting a board game and with their recent fame, they’ve been able to release it. It’s called “Triviathon,” the trivia game where you can win without knowing all the answers. Want to know more? Check out http://www.jeezlepetes.com/index.asp.

- And yes, we all got free Doritos.
