Courtesy Digg: McDonald’s has applied for a patent in the United States and Europe for the “method and apparatus to prepare [a sandwich].” McDonald’s claims that this patent will allow sandwiches look and taste the same at all restaurants.

Garnishes of lettuce, onions and tomatoes, as well as salt, pepper and ketchup, are inserted into a cavity in a ’sandwich delivery tool’.

The ‘bread component’ is placed over the cavity and the assembly tool is inverted to tip out the contents. Finally, the filling is placed in the ‘bread component’.
