Can you identify the sponsor of these 1997 Super Bowl ads

NEW YORK (AP) -- Super Bowl advertisers spend millions to create commercials and run them during the big game.

But how big an impression does all the money and effort leave?

Here are descriptions of six commercials from last year's Super Bowl telecast. Can you remember the sponsor?

1. Pigeons tried to leave a deposit on this company's newly washed car but couldn't catch up before the vehicle slipped into its home garage.

2. Grizzly bears came into town and danced to the Village People's "YMCA" in hopes of getting a taste of the product made by this company.

3. Fred Astaire appears to have dumped the cane and the coat rack to dance with these products.

4. A man at a high school reunion is shocked when he recognizes a beautiful woman is his classmate Bob. The sex-change operation cost a fraction of what this sponsor is spending on its own makeover.

5. Bob Dole finds he should have carried this sponsor's card when the waitress at a diner in his home town in Kansas refuses to take his check without extra identification.

Extra credit: The chicken crossed the road for one of these.

Answers: 1. Nissan; 2. Pepsi-Cola; 3. Dirt Devil vacuums; 4. Holiday Inn; 5. Visa.

Extra credit: Budweiser beer from Anheuser-Busch.
