Fryer oil turns plain old potatoes into delicious french fries. It powers our biodiesel cars. And, now, it’s being used to turn the dusty surfaces of rural Canadian roads into stable makeshift asphalt—AND THEY SMELL LIKE FRENCH FRIES. God bless our obsession with that infernally unhealthy liquid.

Normally, what are the steps that one takes when you decide to order a pizza simply because you do not want to brave the massive traffic gridlock at rush hour, not to mention there are other things that you could do with the amount of time saved? Why, it could be as simple as picking up the phone and giving the nearest pizza parlor a call, or you could also head online and make an order with your existing account. The folks over at Pizza Hut intend to spruce things up a whole lot more by introducing what could very well be the future of pizza ordering. Just take a look at the YouTube video above and you will know what I mean – customers who are seated at their respective tables will be able to place an order of the pizza that they like accordingly, where the order would be sent straight to the kitchen to join the order queue.
I guess this is good in a way where you can spend your time concocting the various kinds of toppings that you would like to have without having the waiter or waitress stand patiently at your table due to one’s indecision. Alternatively, it eliminates the need for waiters or waitresses to a certain extent, although floor service would still be very much in demand at any decent restaurant.
The special interactive table with its app was specially developed by Pizza Hut and digital partner Chaotic Moon, where it redefines the in-store ordering experience through the inclusion of a fun element of collaboration for groups. Basically, everyone who is at the table are able to explore the menu and make a contribution to the order from wherever they’re sitting. There will be step-by-step visuals that guide the selection process, ensuring that the ordering process is not only efficient but extremely personalized, too. Table side payment is enabled, while cool gaming Apps let you kill time while you wait.

In the 1989 movie Back to the Future Part II, the food of 2015 looks incredibly familiar — it’s just prepared a bit differently. Toss a miniature Pizza Hut pizza onto a pan, stick it into your Black & Decker Hydrator, tell the machine how you want it cooked, and three seconds later your pizza is ready. The appliance even slices it for you.

Waiter service too slow for you? How about a pneumatic tube that spits out sliders at 87 MILES PER HOUR? C One Espresso, a cafe in Christchurch, New Zealand, has concocted just such a plan to deliver mini-burgers straight to your table via pressurized air.

This isn’t exactly a news flash but hey, fast food isn’t good for you. And though sometimes that burger or that hot dog might look appetizing in your head

While there have been plenty of images circulating over on Reddit showing the awful, unsanitary things workers do when they’re bored at their fast food jobs, Redditor Txmaluda did something a little more creative – and decidedly less disturbing – with their downtime at work.
Yes, that’s an AT-AT Imperial Walker made from plastic ketchup containers and cardboard. Of course, it’s all well and good until the Rebels start firing french fries and chicken nuggets – as it seem to be even more vulnerable than the ones in Empire Strikes Back. You certainly won’t need a tow line to take this AT-AT down.
My favorite part of the picture is the box that says both WHATABURGER and “fancy ketchup.” How fancy can WHATABURGER ketchup really be?

The golden arches holds a special place in most American’s hearts (or waistlines).

But McDonald’s overseas get to enjoy more than just the ordinary greatness, they have wonderful menu items like poutine and green tea McFlurrys and Spam and spaghetti too. More »
