General Mills announces its return to the Big Game advertising after more than a decade, featuring Totino's Pizza Rolls in its first-ever Super Bowl commercial on February 9, 2025.

The campaign will showcase the brand's distinct humor and marks the first frozen pizza category advertiser in the Big Game. Additionally, Totino's is bringing back 'Hang Time,' its Spanish-language ad, which will air on Fox Deportes and Telemundo Deportes during the event.

Insights

The strategic decision to advertise during the Super Bowl marks a significant investment for General Mills, with 30-second spots typically costing $7 million. The timing is particularly notable following Totino's record-breaking sales performance, achieving their second-highest sales month in 30 years during the 2024 playoffs. This demonstrates strong market momentum and consumer demand.

The expansion into Spanish-language advertising with "Hang Time" shows a calculated move to capture the growing Hispanic market segment, which represents over 19% of the U.S. population and significant purchasing power. The focus on value proposition - 10 Pizza Rolls for about $1 - is particularly well-timed amid persistent inflation concerns affecting consumer spending habits.

General Mills' significant marketing investment in the Super Bowl indicates confidence in their snack segment's growth potential and reflects a robust balance sheet position. The Totino's brand's recent sales performance suggests strong unit economics and market share gains in the competitive frozen snacks category.

The timing of this investment, following record sales performance, demonstrates effective capital allocation toward brand building. The multi-channel approach, including both English and Spanish broadcasts, maximizes potential ROI by targeting diverse consumer segments. This strategic marketing spend could drive meaningful revenue growth and market share expansion in the $5.7 billion frozen pizza category.

General Mills will showcase its brand investment on America’s premier advertising stage, reminding fans that Totino’s Pizza Rolls are the perfect snack for game day with incredible value.
