"Oikos released the commercial last week, in advance of the game. In the clip, Hahn is touring San Francisco via cable car, joined by Derrick Henry, a running back for the Baltimore Ravens. Naturally, both are enjoying Oikos products, when the cable car suddenly screeches to a halt. "Sorry folks, we're stuck," an operator tells the riders. "Tour's over." (Inaccuracy No. 1: Would a cable car operator ever refer to the ride as a "tour"?)"
"The view of the Golden Gate Bridge is all wrong. The cable car appears to be on a road that's not part of any actual cable car route. The corner store in the ad bears a sign identifying it as "The Corner Market," established in 1969, which does not appear to be a real business. All of which prompts the question: What's real, and what's CGI?"
A 30-second Oikos Super Bowl commercial shows Kathryn Hahn touring San Francisco by cable car with NFL running back Derrick Henry. The cable car stops and an operator announces the tour is over, after which Hahn appears to push the car uphill. Visual details include a corner store labeled "The Corner Market" and a Golden Gate Bridge view that do not match real San Francisco locations. Market Street Railway noted many game spots will feature San Francisco imagery. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency said it was not aware of the ad and that neither the cable car nor the track is SFMTA's. Questions arose about which shots used CGI.
