Grilled Cheese Delivered By Parachute

Grilled Cheese Delivered By Parachute, Coming Soon to NYC

An Australian grilled cheese maker called Jafflechutes, a name that I'll address with much concern later in this post, has succeeded in crowdfunding their parachute-based grilled cheese operation for a visit to New York, as soon as this month.

Okay, so grilled cheese sandwiches, which have the perfect name already because that is exactly what they are, are being called jaffles in Australia. Percolate on that one while we move to the next step.

Jaffles, when you stand on a designated "X" somewhere in New York, will be parachuted down to you. From the sky. Things are starting to lighten up . . .

We need to embrace the technologies of the war machine for positive outcomes. When the day comes where more drones deliver grilled cheese sammys (or Jaffles) than death from above, we will advance as a species to the next plane of existence.

... tomato soup with that, even though it is the classic combination.

Supposedly they seal the bread slices together, which keeps the inside warm and gooey. Only watched it on video, so I am curious how it tastes.
