DESIGN: This was an observational study. SETTING: The study took place at two McDonald&#8217;s and Burger King restaurants, and single Dairy Queen, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Taco Bell and Wendy&#8217;s restaurants. SUBJECTS: The number of customers entering the chain restaurants and purchasing food via the drive-through lane were recorded. A total of 3549 patrons were observed.\u00a0RESULTS: The percentage of customers who made their purchases at drive-throughs was fifty-seven. The overall average (57 %) is likely a conservative estimate because some fast-food restaurants have late-night hours when only the drive-throughs are open. CONCLUSIONS: Since nearly six in ten customers purchase food via the drive-through lanes, menu labelling legislation should mandate the inclusion of menu labels on drive-through menu boards to maximise the impact of this public health intervention.&#8221; Photo: flickr\/s2art Related content:<br \/>\nDiscoblog: NCBI ROFL: Alice Waters would not approve.<br \/>\nDiscoblog: NCBI ROFL: Fresh squeezed orange juice odor: a review.<br \/>\nDiscoblog: NCBI ROFL: eat me.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Usp2PHuylDRp6c2iSw6rVXVqzyo\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Usp2PHuylDRp6c2iSw6rVXVqzyo\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap><\/a><br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Usp2PHuylDRp6c2iSw6rVXVqzyo\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Usp2PHuylDRp6c2iSw6rVXVqzyo\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/DiscoverMag\/~4\/nrP-9CyhEe8\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An observational study of consumer use of fast-food restaurant drive-through lanes: implications for menu labelling policy. &#8220;OBJECTIVE: &#8230; The present study was designed to quantify the number of customers who purchase fast food through drive-in windows as a means of informing legislative labelling efforts.
