Study: Hot Chips Australia’s Most Popular Uber Eats Delivery (& 14 Other Uber Facts)

Five days out from Christmas and B&T journalists are often struggling for a breaking news lead.

So, perhaps forgive us for trying to turn this Uber news into something more legitimate than it probably is.

Anyway, here’s what it found when it broke the last 12 months down.

  • This year, Australians took Ubers in 614 cities across 80 countries
  • The AFL Grand Final took the crown for the most Ubers taken in a single day in 2017
  • Australia’s most popular Uber Eats dish was …. hot chips!
  • And… we chowed down in celebration on 22 October, with the most food ordered in a single day after Australia beat New Zealand in the Bledisloe Cup
