The first-ever [DoorDash](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mucinex-and-doordash) Super Bowl ad is set to air as a 60-second spot during the first quarter of the game. The Neighborhood campaign from the delivery service platform features [Sesame Street Muppets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-and-sesame-street) and Daveed Diggs, and a message that shows the benefits of the platform beyond food.

The spot will introduce a reimagined version of the classic Sesame Street song called People in Your Neighborhood and it celebrates the community of people who help to make the platform vibrant. Beyond restaurants, the spot highlights the convenience of using DoorDash to secure household essentials like shampoo, pantry items, as well as Cookie Monster's favorite, cookies. With a focus beyond food, the spot puts DoorDash top-of-mind for ordering convenience items and household supplies, plus health and wellness products.
