Party-goers can tap the bag with their phone to call for an Uber. With Uber and Mothers Against Drunk Driving, Tostitos will offer $10 off the ride during and after the Feb. 5 Super Bowl game.
In 2015, 45 people were killed in drunk driving crashes on Super Bowl Sunday, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
"Our goal is to remove 25,000 cars from the roads that Sunday evening," Jennifer Saenz, Frito-Lay's chief marketing officer said. "Whether watching the big game at a friend's house or at a local bar, a safe ride home is just a few easy taps away. By simply entering a participating Tostitos UPC code in the Uber app, fans nationwide can receive $10 off an Uber ride."
