Fast food giant McDonald's has lost a few customers and wants to win them back. Executives plan to expand the company's "delivery, mobile and kiosk-ordering options as it looks to cut costs." From CNBC:
"Through enhanced technology to elevate and modernize the customer experience, a focus on the quality and value of our food and redefined convenience through delivery, we have a bold vision for the future and the urgency to act on it," said Easterbrook. "We are moving with velocity to drive profitable growth and becoming an even better McDonald's serving more customers delicious food each day around the world."

If you haven't hoarded enough Reddi-wip to get you through Christmas, you might be out of luck. America is in the midst of a nationwide whipped cream shortage. The culprit isn't the cream or anything dairy related, but a shortage of nitrous oxide.
