But there are some who have yet to be convinced.
Laura Williams, who goes by the handle @amusedkerching on Twitter said: 'Burger King is offering delivery service in some areas. I don't trust it. Everyone knows it's impossible to drive without eating the fries.'
Laura Williams thinks the delivery drivers might succumb to temptation and eat the fries
User Dr Frank Simon seems to disagree with the concept of a Burger King delivery service
Another user – Dr Frank Simon or @silverstar22b - was harsher in his condemnation of the fast-food giants, saying: 'Burger King have started a delivery service. Because their customers are now too f*cking fat to go out for it.'
For decades burger restaurants have resisted introducing home-delivery services as the snacks don't travel well and tend to go soggy when warmed up in a microwave.
But a few years ago Burger King claimed to have solved the problem by developing what it called 'proprietary thermal packaging technology,' which ensures the food won't arrive cold and congealed.
This new trial is testing the home delivery service regionally before a wider national roll out later in the year.
