Top 5 Food Commercials: Which Makes You The Hungriest? (VIDEOS)

Wednesday, ad consulting company Ace Matrix released its list of the most effective TV commercials of Q3 of 2011, just in time for Advertising Week. As usual, food and drink products are front and center in the winner's circle. Five of the top 10 commercials advertise some kind of comestible.

The surprise winner of the bunch was a subdued, tasteful 9/11 Tribute commercial from Budweister, which aired on the 10th anniversary of the attacks. Ace Metrix CEO Peter Dabroll, writing in Forbes, noted that the ad scored higher than any other ad so far this year.

Ace Matrix, which was founded in 2007, conducts surveys and focus groups to determine consumer response to ads. It uses the data from the surveys to rank commercials on a 1000-pound scale called the Ace Score.

For the full top 10, check out the Ace Metrix website. Here are all the food-related ads:

Bud makes millions a year and still want you to donate $10 while they market off a tragedy. Corporations at its best

OMG, how can a bear ad be so cheesy and soupy?! Seriously, you need to turn off your brain, if an ad should be able making you hungry.

You are soooooo being manipulated everywhere!
Propaganda WORKS!

My favorite commercial of all time was a Miller Lite ad with Rebecca Romijn in it, back in the 1990's. I searched the internet for it and can't find it, which means it probably never got converted to digital and its gone forever.

Did these ads con you into eating this junk? Be careful with corporate food.

Every time I see a patriotic Budweister commercial, I'm moved for a few seconds, then I remember InBev now owns then, then I snap out of it and pick up a Fat Tire because I don't like that watered down crap anyway.

The only commercial that I can recall being effective on me was the Coca Cola polar bear ads they ran during the Christmas season! They were so adorable and it honestly made me want a Coke lol

These video slides on Huffington never seem to work! I somehow managed to see the first video, but after that, the same thing occurs that always seems to occur with video slides on Huffington Post. The browser (firefox) goes haywire, cycling thru the videos by itself, and making it impossible to play a video. Even after refreshing the page, starting the page in a new tab, closing and reopening the browser!, and even after updating my java to the latest version!!

I find there are way too many bugs on Huffington Post, as it tries to be clever and cutting edge, wrt browser controls.

No ad will ever convince me to eat that dog food they serve at Sonic

Never trust corporate media journalists, Madison Avenue shills and any Republican and neoliberal Democrats. Save the working and middle class. Occupy Wall Street!

None of those commercials make me remotely interested in the product they are selling. I give them all a fail.

I don't eat anything that's advertised on TV, because by definition it would have been made in a factory.
