[The small Irish town of Oranmore became
a testbed for its drone delivery service,
there’s been plenty of surprises for Manna Aero.
Like what people order.

“We had someone order a head of broccoli.
Who orders a head of broccoli for drone delivery?
The broccoli cost 79 cents — and then they
paid €5 for the delivery,” says Bobby Healy,
founder and chief executive of Manna Aero,
an Irish startup developing a drone delivery
as a service.

“My favourite one was someone at nine
in the evening ordering a tub of nappy cream and a melon.
You can see the nappy cream might have been
an emergency if they had run out.
But then they decided to add a melon to the order,
you know, because they could.”]
