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 fries—or "chips," in Kiwi speak—arrive stacked in a metal canister. It's like going to the bank—for burgers. [Popular Science]
