I know its April fools but the idea of having to buy then download a pizza code, to give to your pizza printer oven, that needed over-priced printer cartridges, that you couldnt refill with your own pizza sauce or cheese, does at least sound real.

Like realistically those dumb kuregs are not too far off from that. We could just add the internet to these things and charge your more for the things you already bought. Maybe each kuregg pod comes with a vanilla burst mode that can only be accessed if you have a subscription model, or pay 50 cents via the app on each cup of coffee.

These fast food companies are going to have to retire soon the way they are going. It cost more to go to McDonalds then going to a real sit down restaurant. And you get less food. Half the fast food places don't even open up their sit down stores past 6pm anyways. you have to drive through or order from a shitty delivery app. At some point they are not going to have store locations and its just going to be selling their licensed food products to grocery stores or ghost kitchens. I could see fast food chains try to make fun novelty products like a counter top mc flurry machine, or the coca cola soda stream that tries to deliver you monthly syrup bags, or soft serve mix that used to go directly to McDonalds stores. Some bullshit with a touch screen and internet with promo codes and ads that always display to you.
