If you’re a ‘I’ll take one of everything’ person, there’s a very good reason you need to watch the ‘Big Game’ this Sunday. Even if football isn’t your favorite, you should still tune it! DoorDash has a promotion going on and it may be bigger than the game itself.
Lots of people watch the ‘Big Game’ every year for the commercials. On average, there’s about 70 commercials that run during the game, and advertisers pay big bucks to promote their products. This year, DoorDash wants to give you EVERYTHING that’s advertised during the game. Every snack, every soda, every soap, and every car. EVERY car! That alone is a massive prize!
This is an excellent marketing idea by the folks at DoorDash. Smart move. I don’t use the service lots. Although when I had my neck surgeries, my mom and I did use the service a few times since I was stuck in the house and couldn’t be alone for the first few weeks. Only one lucky person will be winning all of the products advertised and to win, you must watch the game.
Here’s How To Snag The Goods
According to FoodBeast, there’s only one way to enter:
- Bookmark www.doordash-all-the-ads.com and tune in to the Big Game on February 11.
- Watch the DoorDash commercial to crack the code and enter it at www.doordash-all-the-ads.com. Heads up, DoorDash says this code will be tricky and you are only allowed to enter the sweepstakes once.
- Press ‘submit now’ and hope you get lucky.
Since we don’t know when the DoorDash ad will be airing, you’ll need to stay glued to the T.V. most of the night. If you usually go grab another beer or hit the bathroom during the commercials, you may wanna do that this year while the game is going on!
Every year many of the commercial’s leak prior to the game. This means if you’re the winning viewer, you’ll be getting these items in addition to whatever else is advertised during the game:
- Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
- A Kawasaki off-roading vehicle
- Drumstick ice cream cones
- A 30-pound bucket of mayo
- A to-be-determined Volkswagen vehicle
- Pringles
- BMW 2024 All-Electric i5
Can you imagine winning all of the above plus a ton more? I’d have to move to store all the goodies! I have no idea what anyone will do with 30 pounds of mayo, but whatever! Good luck!
4 Reasons Why People Love Chain Restaurants
Lately, the subject of first dates occurring at chain restaurants has garnered significant attention. A recent survey asking women about their least preferred venues for first dates has ignited a debate on the internet. This list, which was shared on Instagram by @DuvalPromo, is reportedly the result of polling women to determine their least favored first-date locations.
Among the 28 establishments on the list are restaurant chains such as Applebee’s, Chili’s, and Denny’s are featured. The top spot for the most unsuitable first date location is occupied by The Cheesecake Factory, followed by Applebee’s, Chili’s, Chipotle, and Olive Garden, rounding out the top five. It’s worth noting that the list includes not only restaurants but also specific first-date situations, including “your house,” family functions, a bar solely for drinks, and church.
Whether it’s a first date or a casual meal, the question arises: Why do some people have reservations about restaurant chains?
According to Farm Credit Canada, a chain restaurant is defined as a business with four or more locations. These restaurants are typically large-scale operations with multiple branches, sometimes spanning different countries or continents.
More Background on Chain Restaurants.
The expansion of chain restaurants did not occur overnight. Many of them have humble origins in smaller, local establishments. For instance, the Cheesecake Factory, which currently operates over 300 restaurants in the U.S. and Canada, began as a small bakery in Detroit and eventually evolved into The Cheesecake Bakery in Los Angeles in 1972, according to their website. It wasn’t until the late ’90s and early 2000s that additional locations began to appear.
Critics often express their reservations about chain restaurants, and there are valid reasons for their concerns. Many people prefer supporting local businesses over large corporations, as chain restaurant food is often mass-produced and served uniformly across various locations. Dining exclusively at upscale or independent establishments offers a sense of social prestige, something to brag about, and the feeling of indulging in a unique experience. However, ultimately, it’s all about eating a meal.
“Fancy like Applebee’s on a date night.”
There’s something comforting about knowing that, for the most part, you can find something familiar to eat at any time and almost anywhere. Maybe that’s why singer Walker Hayes dedicated his song Fancy Like, to the simple joys of eating a chain like Applebee’s. So, let’s chat about some of the reasons people actually enjoy dining at chain restaurants.
