Budweiser, Coke, and Pepsi are a few big names you won't see being advertised during Super Bowl 55. Instead, these companies are donating the money they would have spent on advertising to help ad to coronavirus vaccination awareness efforts.

Budweiser tweeted, "For the first time in 37 years, we aren’t running a commercial during the Super Bowl. Instead, we’re helping to safely bring America back together again soon. Watch to learn how."

It's not only the commercials that will look different in Super Bowl 55. Only 22,000 fans will be allowed in attendance, about a third of the normal capacity.

Super Bowl 55 will be Sunday, February 7th at 6:30 p.m. between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs.
