At least for fries, this is apparently about to be rolled out across Australia by a company unrelated to McDonald's: "You put your money in and it goes from frozen to the fryer and in your cup within two minutes and 20 seconds," Mr Bendotti said.[1] It's been tried before though.[2] I imagine it could be very successful around nightclubs where people might want to eat something greasy on their way home without really thinking about it, but I find it disheartening to see an Australian innovator trying to capitalise on something as unhealthy as the consumption of fries by the general population given the national obesity epidemic.[3] [1] http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-01-28/chip-vending-machine/6052798 http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-01-28/chip-vending-machine/6...
