IT’S RAINING JAFFLES IN MELBOURNE

Yr Grilled Cheese Business lede of the day:



Springwise reports: 

Conceived in Melbourne, the idea was initially developed as a product to help tower block dwellers who forgot their keys to let their flatmates easily drop them down from high levels via small parachutes. After thinking up a more profitable solution for the product, the team created a pop-up cafeteria from their fifth-floor apartment. Customers order their jaffle — the Australian term for a grilled cheese sandwich — by paying via PayPal and arranging a time slot to pick up their snack. An ‘X’ is marked on the street and the sandwich is delivered via parachute to the ground below.

Evidently they’re running a crowdfunding campaign to launch a similar business in NYC.

ADDENDUM: That YO! Sushi drone tray they mention in the lede? You can’t read about it on Springwise because their free articles expire after 30 days.

But you can read about it here.

Or you can watch this video.
