You can call it pie in the sky, but pizza delivery is now a real thing -- at least in the Land Down Under.
Domino's Pizza Enterprises said Wednesday it had completed what it called the world's first delivery of a pizza to a customer in New Zealand. Under the watch of a team of drone experts, the unmanned aerial vehicle used GPS navigation to autonomously deliver Peri-Peri Chicken and Chicken and Cranberry pizzas to a backyard in Whangaparaoa, about 20 miles north of Auckland.
Drones have grown in popularity among big retailers such as Amazon and Walmart, which are continually looking for new ways to get a jump on the competition and attract customers. The small, commercial aerial drones could avoid the delays of terrestrial deliveries by flying above traffic and avoiding circuitous roadways.

Don't worry, the summary was written by a member of a country whose schooling system is so pathetic, their government has to go to war every ten years or so to teach their population world geography.

Gaark was firing from the hip, but, then, so were you. His slip had nothing to do with the summary or America.
For what it's worth, I've been to Australia and New Zealand (South Island and North Island) and don't have anything bad to say about either place. The people are lovely and the land is beautiful. They are not more sophisticated, well travelled, or better educated than Americans or Canadians, though. If a person had to dig deep to find some kind of criticism it could be said that the Aussies could treat the Aborigines better than they do and Kiwis the Maoris, and that the Aussies are really obnoxious tourists in Southeast Asia; but that would open a whole can of worms because I can't think of anybody off the top of my head who does better with that kind of thing, and certainly not Americans or Canadians.
