As Twitchy reported last night, someone on Oreo’s team was on the ball when they tweeted that image shortly after the Super Bowl power outage.

Funny all those ad buyers paid $3.5 mil for a 30 second ad and tomorrow everyone will instead be talking about a free tweet by @oreo. #FTW

Twitter is still buzzing today. It seems as if Oreo was the big Super Bowl ad winner last night. For free? Oh, how awesome the future is!

Pretty awesome, almost incomprehensible that in the era of billion-dollar Super Bowl advertising, a free tweet from Oreo is the top talker.

Okay, so the Paul Harvey tribute ad is still a favorite in many quarters.

@kevincooper @ktackel Yep. That was my favorite followed by the Oreo commercial

But Oreo scored on the creative and on-the-ball side. Plus, you know, no pesky Super Bowl-sized advertising rates. Their viral “power out” tweet was retweeted 15,000 times.

Oreo went viral VERY quickly last night. One power cut – 15,000 retweets. #superbowl RT @oreo: Power out? No problem. twitter.com/Oreo/status/29…
