A Super Bowl TV commercial featuring 88-year-old Betty White topped the USA Today Ad Meter, making it this year’s best-liked commercial according to USA Today.

The Snickers commercial cast White as a football player getting knocked around until she snacked on a Snickers bar and transformed into a tough young man. The Super Bowl game, played Feb. 7 in Miami, was declared to be the most-watched U.S. TV show ever, with over 106-million U.S. viewers, surpassing the final episode of M*A*S*H in 1983.

In January, White was presented with a lifetime Screen Actors Guild award.
