🚁 Potatoes by Air
Neighbor Will dropped a video in the group chat: a drone lowering a blue bag into his yard. Their area had just entered Wing's delivery zone — a Walmart partnership — meaning anything lands on your lawn in 25 minutes. He called it "dumb stuff to entertain the kids."
Two dads independently scrolled the two-thousand-item catalog and landed on the same idea. "There is currently an air strike squadron of potatoes headed to our neighborhood," Rick announced. Each potato: 82 cents. No fee, no minimum, no sales tax. Wing is clearly losing money — but while it burns, we fly.
Turns out you can ship to someone else's address. One dad sent a potato to a friend having a rough time. The drone doesn't ask questions — it just descends, drops, and climbs back into the sky, as *The Atlantic* reports with barely concealed delight.
