San Diego stores — Super Bowl LVIII: Costco’s exclusive Game Day chips, free Wendy’s cheeseburgers for days
But it’s different. The color is dark gold instead of the usual creams or pastels. It’s on the thicker side. It resists when you bite. It’s subtly sour and a little more than subtly spicy. The kind of spice that doesn’t burn your mouth off. Instead, that heat just pats you on the back and guides you back to the bag, as if to say, Have another. To take the edge off.
These jalapeño lime chips are for sale only this month and only at Costco stores throughout San Diego County and the Southwest.
These chips, by Zack’s Mighty, are made from actual tortilla chips using organic nixtamalized yellow corn. Their suggested retail price is $6.99 for a 24-ounce bag.
Launched in 2020, Zack’s Mighty also sells its chips at Whole Foods Market and the East Coast’s Wegmans. Other flavors include lime and nacho. Zack’s Mighty rolled tortilla chips, described as the first non-GMO rolled tortilla chips, are available in chili lime and fiery nacho, according to a news release.
One option for watching the game: Head to a watch party.
If you’re staying home and spring for catering, Tocaya Modern Mexican wants to help you celebrate the Super Bowl this year by adding an incentive to go big: catering and takeout orders of more than $150 will receive free chips and dip on Sunday.
Not just any dips.
The freebie-with-purchase is a catering size order — sized to serve up to 10 people — and includes plantain chips, tortilla chips, guacamole and Tocaya’s three house salsas: roasted tomato, tomatillo and pico de gallo.
Tocaya has one restaurant in San Diego, at the One Paseo mall in Carmel Valley. Its restaurant at Westfield UTC closed.
Wendy’s is making its burgers available for free, now through Monday. On Sunday, it’s also waiving delivery fees.
Why? The company is celebrating a milestone ad that may be abstract or a nonentity to some people (the very young, people who don’t watch TV, people who have been fast-forwarding through commercials since 1984) and iconic to anyone who recognizes this slogan: Where’s the beef? Wendy’s introduced it back in 1984 — during Super Bowl XVIII.
Trivia time: Who faced off? The answer is below.
Retail Wire shared details about the freebie: The burger must be ordered with a paid purchase through Wendy’s mobile app, under the offers tab. Delivery is also free during the game, through the app.
The free burger deal ends Monday.
Answer: The Las Vegas Raiders played the Washington Redskins. The Raiders won 38-9.
