Kebab with extras: €13.56 and its consequences

Kebab with extra fries via Glovo: the €13.56 meal that triggered a gastrointestinal analysis

Ordering a chicken kebab with extra fries, a regular Coca-Cola and a Maxibon for dessert delivered to your door sounds like a Friday treat. But the price — €13.56 after a 30% discount — makes you look twice at the receipt. And what started as a simple dinner ended up becoming a case study on the effects of fast food on the body.

The real cost of the treat

The order includes: a portion of chicken kebab, two portions of fries (the extra), a regular cola soft drink and a cookie-style ice cream. The final price of €13.56, with the 30% discount already applied, places the meal in the mid-to-high range of kebab delivery. For context, at a traditional neighbourhood kebab shop the same meal without a discount could come to around €19. The question is whether it's worth it.

The unofficial nutritional analysis

An automated analysis broke down each component: the chicken meat is of uncertain quality, the fries add refined fats and salt, the regular Coca-Cola contributes 35 grams of sugar per can (almost 100% of the recommended daily intake), and the Maxibon rounds it off with more sugar and fat. According to the analysis, the result would be a combination that can cause bloating, gas and digestive discomfort. Fibre is conspicuously absent.

The figure that throws you off

The most striking thing is not the price or the nutritional composition, but the fact that this meal, with that calorie and sugar load, is sold as a great weekend plan. With €13.56 you could prepare a much more balanced homemade dish. But delivery wins the day.
