Schrödinger's Taco Bell is a phenomenon that occurs whenever fast food is purchased in a drive-through.
The paradox is that the customer changes the outcome of the order by changing when they observe their food. If the customer checks what they have received right when they receive it, then there will be no mistake to be found. But if the customer is right about to eat the food and has waited to check that it matched their order until then, they will find that the order was messed up. The act of observing the food before eating changes the outcome of the integrity of the order.
