There is something about the drive-thru that just feels like a perfect distillation of the American Dream. Nothing says pulling yourself up by your bootstraps quite like being late for work because you were sitting in your car with twenty other people sitting in their cars waiting for a breakfast sandwich and elaborate coffee. The idea of being able to order yourself a whole meal without ever leaving your car is the epitome of convenience, but everybody knows that this isn’t always the reality.

Still, despite the long waits, the out-of-stock items, and things getting lost in translation over a crackly intercom, there is a certain joy that comes from visiting the drive-thru. Even if you go nearly every day, it satisfies that nagging daily Little Treat craving that so many of us get. The memes below celebrate it in all its glory, for those committed to the ritual of eating in a vehicle.
