This Bag Of Tostitos Just Told Us We Were Too Drunk To Drive [WATCH]

Just in time for the Super Bowl, Tostitos just unveiled a “Party Safe” bag of corn tortilla chips that you blow into to find out if you’re too buzzed to drive.

We got one of these bags sent to the Foodbeast office, and immediately used it as an excuse to get lit on a work day.

The front of the limited edition bag will light up red, with a message that reads, “Get an Uber. Don’t drink and drive,” if it detects alcohol on your breath. If you’re completely sober, the light appears green.

In the Facebook livestream above, our own Rudy and Marc did the honors of properly testing it out, and took a few shots to see if the bag actually worked.

To activate the bag, we removed the little magnetic flap in the front of the bag, blew into the little tap, then the bag lit up blue and started spinning in a clockwise motion, figuring out who in the office was an alcoholic.

While you could argue that they weren’t even buzzed after one shot, the bag said they should probably call an Uber to pick them up. After the bag turned red, the bag showed a code for a free $50 Uber ride.

A few of us in the office who did not drink, were in the clear, as the bag lit up green for most of us.

For whatever reason, the first time I blew into the bag myself, which turned the indicator red, despite never having a drink in my 28 years of life. So that was a little suspect. Maybe Marc and Rudy got so drunk, that I got second-hand drunk.

In the end, this bag isn’t a legit breathalyzer, and they made it very clear that it’s not, but it still reminds you that you’ve had something to drink, and suggests you don’t drive while in any form of intoxication.

Thanks to their collab with “Mothers Against Drunk Driving,” every single regular bag of Tostitos right now,has its own barcode which allows you to get $10 off your Uber ride during February 5, Super Bowl Sunday. Up to 25,000 people can use this code that day, and the offer is good for both new and pre-existing Uber users.

They basically went through all this trouble to remind you to drink responsibly, and we’ll gladly reiterate those sentiments.
