McDonalds lets you order with your phone
In what surely has to be a perfect collaboration between McDonalds and Nintendo, McDonalds is making it easier then ever to order food that will have you working twice as hard on the Wii-Fit. hmmm. Then you’ll get hungry again. Let’s see, who makes it easiest to get a disc shaped hunk of grease on a sesame seed bun? And the circle is complete, my friends. McDonald’s will introduce a new system that’s currently testing in Japan.

It’s a payment application that’s downloaded into your phone and when you place your phone over an RFID reader, you can pay instantly or use coupons and the like.

Egg McMuffin machine: your new breakfast buddy
If you’re one of those people who absolutely have to make a trip to McDonalds every morning to get a Egg McMuffin, then this is for you. This gadget will toast your muffins and poach two eggs in just minutes, whipping up your favorite breakfast sandwich without requiring you to make the drive.

With four slots for muffins and two for eggs, you can make yourself two sandwiches at a time. You’ll pack on the pounds in no time. It only costs $60, so after roughly 60 sandwiches, it has paid for itself. Hell, put on a uniform and hit the sidewalk selling your own version. Just don’t come crying to me when a red haired and demented clown tries to put the screws to you for turning tricks in his territory. Cause he’ll cut ya! He’s as mean as they come.
