Speaker 1 (00:00):
So it seems hot chips are officially twenty twenty five's
most ordered dish on uber Eats. They've been crowned Australia's
unofficial national dish, dominating delivery orders across multiple states including
w Way. This is according to the Uber Eats Cravings Report.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Thoughts, Well, I am not surprised, Are you surprised? Well,
I'm not.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
I'm not surprised, but I've got to I've got to
confess here. I don't think i've ordered anything on You've.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Never used Uber eats.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
You're a weird place.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
If I want chip. That's why I got the air.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
For us with you.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Oh, sometimes you just want someone else to fry your stuff.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Yeah, I just you know, he's part of the thing.
I want hot chips. I think it's just a little
overboard to get them from a shop and someone puts
them on the little backpack and then rides a.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Little I'd rather cook them.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yeah, They're not something I would order. I mean, yes,
I use Uber eats, but I like a nice pad
Thai or some Japanese. I wouldn't order hot chips because
I would think they would get to you and they'd
be soggy. But you say they're not bad.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
But you would. I often head down to Mackets. I
got the best chips are at Mackets. I've got to say, yeah,
I know if they're healthy fresh you go through the like.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
A thrice cooked in duck fat chip for the restaurant.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah, they're pretty good. The other and I'm on a
diet all the time, and there's one thing, likeas Die
I can't resist is chips. At the canteen at Channel seven,
the first thing they have is this chip machine in
the front and every da I'm not going to do it.
And Moraine or our boss, she teases me about it
because I've given up bread as well, because that's how

(01:40):
hard does they give up bread? I mean, that's magnificent.
But it's my biggest weakness is chips. And every day
and I get the chicken salt goods, the chicken salt.
You've got to have it, chick It's basically could be
our national currency. I reckon chips. You should be able
to get paid in chips.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Well, they're saying here that the people are ordering coffee.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yes, and now I've never been I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
People crazy can you be?

Speaker 1 (02:03):
But noble? The thing is it would be cold, wouldn't it.
I like my coffee to be hot. And then they
say millions, millions of cups are being ordered nationwide on
Uber eats every day. I just have never understood that.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
One speed bump and it's everywhere. Well it's cold.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
But that is decadent, isn't it. You know you can't
even go down to the local cafe and get a coffee,
I mean you want it brought to your house like
on weekend.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
And I guess there are people that rely on you know,
they can't get out and they do rely on it
being delivered. But yeah, numbers, machine of these numbers.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
These are off the chart anyway.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
The chips my biggest weakness. And anyone who doesn't like chips,
it's a big red flag for what's wrong with that person?

Speaker 1 (02:49):
I'm ordering a bad time.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Well, I like them, but I'm not I'm not getting
someone on a scooter to bring them halfway across town for.
