Whopper on Wheels

Are you tired of having to get dressed and leave the house to get a meal? Tired of the struggle of traffic and the long wait in the drive-thru lane? Well worry no more because the wonderful and obese people at Burger King have decided to deliver!! Now that guy in the creepy king costume will come right to your front door and force feed you 3,000 calorie breakfast biscuits and chicken stix. BK is taking the next step in keeping America fat and immobile by designing a state-of-the-art food delivery oven they've dubbed "proprietary thermal packaging technology", that will ensure the food is delivered hot and tastes just like it was taken off the warming station behind the counter. Jonathan Fitzpatrick, chief brand and operations officer says there will be a $2 delivery fee on all orders and orders must be more than $8. All drinks will come in plastic bottles, ddelivery customers must live within a 10-minute drive of the store and breakfast items are not delivered. Delivery times are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The delivery option is only available in limited test markets but if things go well Burger King says it will be the norm across the country.  Other fast food giants are waiting to see how the experiment goes and realize it's a tough market to crack, Domino's spokesman Tim McIntyre said, "We wish them luck, there is a reason that not all pizza places deliver: It isn't easy."
