• "Americans love fried chicken. Just like they love chips and dip. So what could be tastier, fast-food restaurants conclude, than chicken you can eat like chips and dip."
• "Seventeen percent of all meals ordered at restaurants in the U.S. are now eaten in cars, according to NPD Group, a consumer research firm."

• "Last week Pizza Hut introduced a P'Zolo, a rolled, hot sandwich intended to be held in one hand. It comes with marinara or ranch dip."

Europe has been delivering pizza with dipping sauce for ages now. They're always years ahead.
Streets ahead.
@melis Stop trying to make streets ahead happen!
On the bright side, we should be proud that we've achieved the weaponization of fast food.
I am shocked and saddened that Burger King's upcoming bacon ice cream sundae did not make the list.
