The Super Bowl advert faces a backlash for appearing to make light of a man with a peanut allergy.
Uber Eats is facing a backlash after its Super Bowl advert appeared to make light of a man having an allergic reaction to peanut butter.
It features former Friends co-stars Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer, as well as David and Victoria Beckham.One scene shows the Beckhams in their kitchen, with David saying to former Spice Girl Victoria, "Remember when you used to be a Pepper Lady?" She responds, "Wasn't it the Cinnamon Sisters?" Dr Sung Poblete, head of the charity FARE, said she found adverts that use food allergies as humour concerning as it could encourage bullying among children.
The ad appears to try to cover its humour by stating in a small font at the bottom of the screen: "Please please please do not forget there are peanuts in peanut butter." Despite his anger, Mr Arland, who is a content manager for a sports website, told the BBC he saw an opportunity for education.
