WHAT do you do when you crave a nice hot juicy burger?
Just drive to a fast food outlet of course - but what if you are only eight years old?
Well one Ohio child had the answer - obvious, in fact. Yes, that's it, simply drive Dad's van to McDonald's and take your four year old sister along for the ride, just for good measure.
Local police officer Jacob Koehler said witnesses saw the boy driving and called police in the city of East Palestine, about 145km southeast of Cleveland.
Koehler says the youngster told him he learned to drive by watching YouTube videos, adding the boy appeared to obey traffic laws and no charges were filed.
And while we are on the "would you like chips with that?" theme, it appears that demand for potato crisps has surged in Japan this week, with products on offer for six times their retail price online after Japanese snack company Calbee halted the sale of some of its most popular chip brands.

Photos of near-empty shelves at local supermarkets were trending on Twitter, with the shortage blamed on failed yields in some of the key potato-producing regions of the island of Hokkaido.
The Nikkei newspaper warns that the "Potato Crisis" could also spread to fast food outlets soon.
