Think you could be the ultimate judge of the best drive-thru meals? If so, Auto Trader wants to hear from you.
The car sales website is on the hunt for an official ‘drive-thru reviewer’, who will be tasked with exploring local fast-food restaurants.
However, the reviews will need to focus on more than just which drive-thru outlet offers the tastiest food.
Auto Trader also wants to know which meal does the best job of preserving the interior of your car.
Car versus food
With the growing number of drivers choosing to lease their vehicles, ensuring a car’s interior remains in top condition is now an even higher priority.
Leasing companies thoroughly inspect cars when they are returned, and grease stains or lingering smells from fast food could result in charges for deep cleaning or even replacement parts.
In addition, the widespread use of touchscreens inside new cars has created a new challenge in avoiding endless fingerprints on the infotainment system.
Auto Trader’s drive-thru reviewer will be tasked with judging meals on everything from the quality of the package, through to how long the food smell lingers in the car’s cabin.
Gym membership not included
To become the new drive-thru reviewer, applicants need to complete a simple form setting out in 300 words why they would be the best judge of fast food.
A winner will then be chosen at random from all entrants, and receive £300 to cover the cost of fuel and food from five local drive-thru restaurants.
The chosen reviewer will have to report back with their judgement on their selected restaurants, and also provide photos to share on social media.
Aficionados of burgers and supersized drinks will have to move quickly, though. The competition closes at 23:59 on Sunday 14 July 2024.
