Special delivery!
Instacart’s LIX Super Bowl ad unites various brand mascots and characters who work together on game day to deliver a grocery order. PEOPLE can exclusively reveal the 30-second ad, which will air during the second quarter of the Super Bowl on Feb. 9.
“Release the hounds,” Chester Cheetah says into the walkie talkie.

As the dogs turn a city corner, the Kool-Aid Man bursts through a big glass window, yelling, “Oh yeah!” before joining what now looks like a mascot marathon.
An army of Energizer Bunnies descend from the sky, pounding their drums as parachutes catch their fall. Joining the swarm of wiener dogs, the Bunnies and the rest of the mascots converge on a single house — with Old Spice Guy Isaiah Mustafa on a horse, on a porch.
“I’m on a porch,” he says, in his trademark matter-of-fact voice before he and the horse transform into a stick of deodorant that magically falls into an Instacart bag.
Two Instacart bags contain treats from all the mascots — Mountain Dew, Pillsbury croissants, Magic Erasers from Mr. Clean, a package of Kool-Aid and Energizer batteries.
“Groceries are here,” says a woman who lives in the house.
“Thanks, babe,” a man replies. “You get the milk?”
The woman’s face falls, just as the camera cuts to a cow speeding towards the house on a motorcycle.
