Uber Eats had to scale back one of its key Super Bowl ad spots after it received criticism for making light of a serious issue. The original ad included a scene in which a person is shown eating peanut butter, unknowingly risking a potentially deadly allergic reaction. This sparked concern among viewers, prompting the company to make adjustments to the commercial. The ad, part of a larger campaign, was designed to grab attention by showcasing celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, and Usher in a humorous light. Despite the controversy, Uber Eats swiftly addressed the issue and removed the offending segment from the ad. This incident is not the first of its kind as another ad featuring the late Carl Weathers was also altered following his recent passing. [via Variety]
