AI-generated ads are on the rise, and they're even making their way to the biggest advertising stages like the Super Bowl—and rather than airing a commercial during the upcoming Big Game, [Chipotle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/extra-sunday) is dropping a one-time, 30-second video on [Instagram Reels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boorito-1) called "The Chipotle Realest 30," featuring a text-to-claim code. Created to underscore Chipotle's commitment to real food and real ingredients without artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, The Chipotle Realest 30 in-game activation will give the first 100,000 fans who text the code to 888222 a free entrée. "When AI shows up in a TV ad after halftime, we're seizing that one moment to reward fans with what they really want: real food," said Stephanie Perdue, Interim Chief Marketing Officer of Chipotle.

Building on all of the hype surrounding a big day of sports and snacking, Chipotle is introducing a trio of Game Day Nacho Hacks, available exclusively on the Chipotle app and website for a limited time from February 5th through February 8th.
