Fast Food

Fast Food is a two-and-a-half minute audio comedy skit about a frustrating encounter at a fast-food drive-thru where a customer tries to order "a double cheeseburger, onion rings and a large orange drink." The skit was first broadcast on radio on 4 July 1982, but written and performed earlier.[5]
