This Crazy Pneumatic Tube System Will Deliver Burgers at 87 MPH

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.

The cafe already uses pneumatic tubes to deliver order slips to the kitchen, and a heftier burger-moving tube system is currently being tested. Once the tubes are all installed, the sliders and a side of friesā€”or ā€œchips,ā€ in Kiwi speakā€”arrive stacked in a metal canister. Itā€™s like going to the bankā€”for burgers. [Popular Science]
