Someone in Auckland ordered Uber Eats 438 times this year
We can only guess (and hope) this is not the same person who made the most expensive order on Uber Eats in New Zealand this year - $870 for 151 items of Wendy's from Dominion Rd. At the other end of the scale, someone used the app to make the smallest order of the year: a single sachet of ketchup (needs must). The stats also show that Kiwis have a diverse palate. One person managed to try food from 109 different restaurants this year. But still, no matter how much variety we have at the touch of a button, it seems our greatest love, when it comes to takeaways, is still the humble butter chicken. This was the most ordered item via the app in 2018. The item people most searched for in the app was "burgers" (clearly before deciding to go ahead and order a butter chicken anyway). It seems Kiwis are not really that picky. "No onion" was the most common special instruction - followed by "no tomato" and "extra sauce". As for the late-night munchies, the big craving is the classic Big Mac combo - this was the number one choice up and down the country after midnight. Collectively, New Zealanders through Uber Eats ate 505,595 burritos and 653,430 chicken McNuggets this year. A fine effort in not-so-fine dining.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
