McDonald’s is ditching its drive-through AI ordering system after too many customers wound up with totally incorrect orders like a handful of butter, hundreds of chicken nuggets, and ice cream loaded with bacon https://t.co/svb3EhTpY1

People make bacon grease chocolate chip cookies, I could only imagine bacon ice cream is actually good LMAO.

I know this is fake but still.

cheaper to just fly to LA for that, but then you'd have to drag yourself to Manhattan Beach, which I know is nearish LAX but it's still out of the way.
