[Miller High Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miller-high-life-leg-lamp-beer-tower) is hoping to go for the trifecta with a one-second ad that’s meant to be a budget-friendly but attention-grabbing campaign. The ad stars Windell Middlebrooks, who told the [Boston Herald](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprouts-farmers-market-innovation-set) that the shoot lasted 17 hours, with nary a break for a frosty brew in the cold New York weather. It looks like Miller High Life’s efforts will pay off. The ad campaign is one of the most-discussed Super Bowl commercials in the media this week.
