[02:52.62]The food, cooked and hot, is packed into cardboard and plastic containers
[03:00.29]and hot drinks go into plastic cups with tight-fitting lids
[03:07.45]There are also drive-in fastfood restaurants
[03:13.25]where the customer does not have to leave his or her cap
[03:18.94]They first stop at a board where the menu is displayed
[03:25.42]give an order through a microphone and then drive another twenty yards
[03:33.84]where a girl hands them the meal ready cooked and packet
[03:40.18]People who prefer to eat at a table in the restaurant also receive their food
[03:47.09]in cardboard or plastic containers
[03:51.84]and the knives, forks and spoons are plastic, too
