My low-rent version of the drone delivery idea is the burrito cannon.
You order burritos via your phone. When they're ready, your phone tells you to go stand outside. Once there's a solid GPS fix, a precise, high-powered catapult throws the delivery package way up in the air. Like a smart bomb, it uses tailfin guidance to home in on your phone, popping a 'chute at the end.
What's mind blowing is that when you break this down, it's more or less achievable, minus regulation snafus regarding launching projectiles in a populated area.
