Foo Fighters Loved This Snack From FairPrice So Much, They Mentioned It At Their F1 Concert

This past weekend's Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix saw many iconic acts, including Elton John, G-Dragon, Foo Fighters, Smashing Pumpkins, and CL, take the Padang Stage at Marina Bay Street Circuit. The star-studded lineup, unsurprisingly, drew crowds of people all gathered to experience one of the most exciting weekends of the year. 

What we didn't expect though, was for Dave Grohl, former Nirvana drummer and the frontman of the Foo Fighters, to give a shout-out to a local-brand snack. 

While introducing one of the founding members of the band to the audience, Dave announced: "As the colonel would say, original recipe — that's Nate Mendel playing the bass tonight."

He continued: "He's like those fried chicken cashews y'all got here. They're pretty good. I got some."

He was referring to FairPrice's Fried Chicken Cashews that are just $4.90 per pack. And yes, last we checked, they're still available. 

The moment was later shared by local supermarket chain FairPrice on Instagram, with the caption: "When Dave Grohl of @foofighters calls out your snack at F1 Singapore, you know it hits the right note."

Who would've thought that Dave would be a fan of the FairPrice-brand treat?

Singaporeans wasted no time in posting comments on how much they, too, enjoy the snack, with one commenter even predicting that the fried chicken cashews might sell out after the shout-out. 

FairPrice's reply? "We’ve got SO much stock ready."

Brb going to grab ourselves some Dave-approved cashews right now.
