It&#039;s also unclear how long Uber had the recap in the works, or if it was influenced by the skit. Uber and NBCUniversal did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>The feature echoes the sketch that aired on Saturday night, which lays bare how quickly people who willingly participate in data tracking recoil when that data reflects something they don&#039;t want to know.<\/p>\n<p>The skit started with an innocuous character who was delighted to find that she was one of Sabrina Carpenter&#039;s top global listeners in 2025. Then the skit took an ominous turn when an advertisement claimed to reveal who the characters &quot;really are&quot; this year, featuring an &quot;Uber Eats wrapped.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>One character learned he had eaten more chicken nuggets than 99% of users worldwide. Another was assigned an &quot;Uber Eats age&quot; \u2014 a riff on Spotify&#039;s &quot;listening age&quot; \u2014 only to be told his was &quot;Dead.&quot; 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.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Hx7Vv5pqpHg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>To access the actual feature, which is only available in the US at the moment, look for the &quot;YOUBER&quot; banner in your app, and it will show riders where they went, how often they opted for Uber Comfort, and which restaurants they returned to again and again.<\/p>\n<p>The feature also assigns users one of 14 &quot;Uber Personality Profiles,&quot; including &quot;Do-Gooder&quot; for Uber Electric loyalists, &quot;Rise &amp; Shiner&quot; for early-morning riders, and &quot;Delivery Darling&quot; for customers who &quot;live for deliveries of all kinds.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>And if you don&#039;t want to endure your guilt alone, you can always share it.
