The original ad, released on Feb. 6, included a scene showing a man forgetting that there are peanuts in peanut butter, his face red and swollen. It is a play on the idea that in order to remember Uber Eats delivers an array of items, consumers have to forget something else. The ad, included a disclaimer in small text shown at the bottom of the screen during the peanut butter scene which reads: “Please please please do not forget there are peanuts in peanut butter.”
