    GERDS

    Atlanta, Georgia USA (1 April 2014) – The Big Green Egg Company has announced that it has successfully tested a super capacity unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), more commonly known as a commercial drone, with the ability to enable it to offer same day home delivery of the new MiniMax EGG by August 2014.

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    I thought that was part of an April Fools gag the mothership did?

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    It was an April Fools gag. Good thing the author did his/her research before writing the article! :-?

    It was a gag, the heaviest duty commercial octocopter drones are limited to about a 10-12lb payload, and that cuts their flight time down to minutes.  Like picking up Onion articles as real news, another great example of lack of due diligence in reporting on MSN's part.

    I like this part:

    A BBQ company in Atlanta has successfully tested a drone that will deliver its 30-pound MiniMax Egg grill starting in August, because as the company puts it, "When the urge to add a MiniMax to the collection strikes, we will just be hours away with a quick and secure delivery."

    I wish it was that simple!

    but what if you have Prime?

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
