As Twitchy reported last night, someone on Oreo’s team was on the ball when they tweeted<\/a> that image shortly after the Super Bowl power outage.<\/p>\n\n\n

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<\/a>. #FTW<\/a><\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n\n\n

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

Okay, so the Paul Harvey tribute ad <\/a>is still a favorite in many quarters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

@kevincooper<\/a> @ktackel<\/a> Yep. That was my favorite followed by the Oreo commercial<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n

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

Oreo kept following up on Twitter, too.<\/p>\n\n\n
