I starting getting #raspberrypi new product tingles a few days ago. Turns out I was right and luckily for my CC it's something that doesn't interest me 😁.

Just had my first gluten free McDonald's cheeseburger (in wet Amsterdam). Not sure I'd bother again unless desperate 😬 but at least it's an option.
