This seems a bit stupid, but are there a Macd drive-thru in Dubai? If yes, where?
Thanks

I just thought it was hard to imagine someone living in Dubai and driving around without keeping their eyes closed not noticing some MacDonalds drive through's. Apparently Prowheels managed to do this somehow, so maybe they aren't as obvious as I though. It just seems a bit like asking if there is any sand in Dubai.

prowheels says he's 13 or something - we're not sure if that is the case :D Maybe his parents or his driver never take him to McDonalds?

Oh, that makes sense then. I guess he wouldn't be driving himself around.

You're all missing the point. Though I am not a big fan of fast food, It's my holidays and I am quite bored so I decided I would do a little bit of cone-ing...

That got some cool reactions from some of the servers. Some of them looked absolutely shocked.

It's a bit hard to do stuff like that without a car. Do you plan on walking through the drive through?

blueshift , Walking through a drive thru would be quite funny, but no. I will tell whoever is in front my order, they will go slightly ahead while i'm in the backseat, therefore I will be able to take my order, just as if I would be if I was in front.

Thats seems like a waste of perfectly good ice cream to me and I must be getting old and grumpy as I can't seem to find the "funny" in this. Besides I hate getting my hands messed up like that, not to mention the darn thing then drip all over my ride !!!

A MacDonalds soft serve costs about 1 or 2 dirhams (I forget which) so it's not a particularly expensive hobby.

I think it would be quite challenging to get the desired effect here. Some of the MacDonald staff just looked on completely nonchalant as if every other customer grabs the icecream by the top and it's nothing to get surprised about.

The challenge is to get inside the head of the staff member, get them to psychologically commit to getting the icecream safely inside your hands and accept responsibility for making sure it happens, then turn their world upside down when it completely fails to happen.

desertdudeshj , I don't know about you, but those ice creams they offer isn't exactly what I would call 'good.' It's mostly fat, artificial flavours, preservatives and chemicals. Cone-ing is a forthcoming trend in the internet, just like planking and owling. Of course you might get a little dishevelled, but that's part of the fun. Besides, some precautionary measures will be taken to ensure no ice cream will manage to creep its way down to the seats.

blueshift , If I simply just grabbed it and took off, there would be no point in doing all of this in the first place since I wouldn't get much of a reaction. Instead, before taking the ice cream , I will just put a finger inside it and take a lick. Hang there for a few moments, grab the ice cream from top and stare blatantly at the staff. Hopefully then, I will get a much more genuine and captivating reaction.

Why do you want to do that to McD staff? What's the point in annoying cpl of people who work very hard all day and get little money.

Nucleus , I was expecting someone to bring that up...

There really is nothing to be annoyed about. In fact; in all those cone-ing videos the staff laughed it off. No one looked extremely steamy afterwards. I reckon it would probably lighten up their day.

Pizza takes 15-20 minutes to prepare, that would be some line on a busy day :-)
