The wild thing — aside from the fact that you can just order a drone delivery to someone else’s yard — is that each potato delivery cost 82 cents. Total. Each order came from the Walmart Supercenter a few miles away. Wing is absolutely losing money on this. There’s no minimum order, there’s no delivery fee, and the prices are the same as in-store. Wing’s not even collecting sales tax. Welcome back, millennial lifestyle subsidy!

At these prices, if you’re not using drones to send potatoes to your neighbors you’re leaving money on the table.

I legitimately laughed out loud.

I mean, potato cannons already existed. Get those artillery tables out and fire up the compressor.
