Burger King (BKC), trying to regain its place as the nation's second largest fast-food chain, is trying out home delivery in an effort to boost sales. This is just one of a number of unexpected experiments going on right now. Chains usually try discounts and other moves at this time of year to counter a seasonal sales slump.

This fall the Miami-based chain started testing delivery at four restaurants in the Washington, D.C., area. The company says it will expand the test to 16 more locations by Jan. 23 before deciding whether or not to make it a large-scale effort.

According to the company website, deliveries cost $2, and there is a minimum order of $8 to $10, depending on the market. Customers can order online or by phone. The restaurant is delivering meals such as 40-piece Chicken Tenders and two bottled drinks for $10.99 and four large sandwich combos for $23.99. (However, if you're hankering for a milkshake or a breakfast sandwich, you're out of luck. Shakes, fountain drinks, milkshakes, coffee and breakfast food are still in-store only.)

Now if you're too much of a lazy f**k to roll out and get your own Whopper, Burger King will bring it to your doorstep. Progress!!

King, I just called in my order. I hope my bathrobe doesn't "accidently" fall open when you get here.
