I believe they currently use CPU tech to make molecular thin beef patties

the value and the experience of fast food is just not there anymore. some startup is going to disrupt all of this with something so deliciously reasonable soon i hope.

[–] BraveSirZaphod@kbin.social 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Food is a much harder industry for new tech to disrupt, because no new startup can ever compete with the beef supply chains that McDonalds etc. have established.

It's easy to launch a website to a some online thing. It's much harder to an absurd amount of agricultural products all over the country for cheap.

Guess some executives finally saw WALL-e and saw a goal they should shoot for lol

[–] snownyte@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

And it'll be $9 a burger, you watch.

[–] the_q@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Yup and the staff won't get a penny of that increase. Hell, the materials purchased probably won't cost them more either so it'll just be profit.

Kill yourselves eating the garbage and pay more for it. Ba dap bap bap baaahhh...

I need quality over quantity. It's one of the reasons I rarely go to Olive garden nowadays. If I want fast food Italian, I'll go pickup on olive garden.

If I want a nice dining experience. I go to a local Italian restaurant I know of. (same price, half the food, 10x better quality)

Most of the time I find myself having to season anything I pick up from olive garden.

That's great but a lot of people are doing calorie per dollar calculations.

I just want some veggie options in my country. I'd settle for a single burger on the menu!

I was going to make a crack about them inventing a time machine to get Big Macs from like 20 years ago, but I actually kind of wish they'd bring back the angus 1/3rd pounder, those burgers were great.

[–] ma11en@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You wouldn't want the bigger 1/4 pounder?

[–] Anti_Iridium@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Rather I want an 1/8 pounder
