Video: Invisible Drive-Thru Customer Prank

A video has recently been making the rounds through social media of late, showing a hilarious prank that was pulled by Rahat the Magician Prankster. In the video, Rahat uses a "car seat costume" to give the illusion of a driverless car and pulls up to several drive-thru windows to order food. Needless to say, the reactions of the restaurant workers are priceless.

The video, which was posted on Yahoo news (via Gawker) can be seen below.

News Elsewhere: A Cupcake ATM Comes to Beverly Hills (and Soon, New York City)

Cupcakes seem to be all the rage these days, so much so that a Cupcake ATM (yes, a Cupcake ATM) can now be found in California, and soon, in the Big Apple.

An article in the Huffington Post last week reported that Sprinkles Cupcakes now has an ATM in Beverly Hills, mentioning that the machine is loaded with 600 freshly-made, individually-boxed cupcakes for customers to purchase. The Huffington folks tried out the AMT and noted that the process is "as easy as getting a soda from the vending machine or money from an ATM."

Expect cupcake ATMs from the Sprinkles chain to come to New York City next; the Huffington Post states that possible locations include Midtown, Lower Manhattan, and the Upper West Side.

It is not yet known if Boston will see any of the cupcake ATMs (the closest Sprinkles location is currently in New York).

Below is a video on how the ATM works:
