MCDONALD’S device automatically places delivery orders if burned meals are detected

When most people cook dinner, they do so without having a meal “Plan B” at the ready if the food burns and is ruined. McDonald’s sought to solve that problem by offering McDelivery Detector units for kitchen installation—a smoke alarm made to look like a double cheeseburger that automatically places an order to the nearest McDonald’s restaurant if it senses that the meal you’re preparing is in the process of being (or has already been) reduced to ashes.
