"Just days after "Saturday Night Live" aired a satirical skit about an "Uber Eats wrapped" and the horrors of discovering how much you spent on it this year, Uber made the embarrassment real with a Spotify-style year-end recap. On Monday, the company launched a new year-in-review feature called "YOUBER," which compiles users' activity across both Uber and Uber Eats."
"One character learned he had eaten more chicken nuggets than 99% of users worldwide. Another was assigned an "Uber Eats age" - a riff on Spotify's " listening age" - only to be told his was "Dead." The humiliation peaked when a character realized he had spent $24,000 on Uber Eats in a year, prompting him to scream into a pillow in response."
Uber launched YOUBER, a Spotify-style year-in-review feature that compiles user activity across both Uber and Uber Eats. The feature presents totals and highlights of rides and deliveries and includes a built-in share button for users. The rollout followed a Saturday Night Live skit that spoofed an "Uber Eats wrapped" and highlighted revelations like eating more chicken nuggets than 99% of users and an "Uber Eats age" labeled "Dead." One skit character screamed after realizing he spent $24,000 on Uber Eats in a year. Whether SNL knew of Uber's plans or influenced the recap remains unknown. YOUBER is available only in the US for now.
