“Used y'alls credit card info to buy two Super Bowl ads": Hilarious Temu memes erupt as Super Bowl ad cost sparks awe

Temu, the popular Chinese e-commerce company, has been taking the internet by storm as many have been left surprised by its commercials during the Super Bowl. As the company released many commercials during the games this year, CNBC reported that the e-commerce platform aired three ads, and each of them cost the company millions of dollars.

On the other hand, INC reported that Temu’s spokesperson also stated that the company is giving away $5 million in coupons and credits on various game days.

Apart from this, the e-commerce company has also set aside a budget of $10 million in giveaways. Furthermore, TIME reported that the company spent $7 million for each commercial during the game.

Hence, considering that Temu aired three ads back-to-back, the netizens were surprised to know that the e-commerce site had spent $21 million only on ads, besides the other promotions being done. One social media user also commented and said:
