Most people think of the car service Uber as a way to get from one place to another. But, as Los Angeles Clippers star Blake Griffin recently discovered, Uber can also be used as a sort of restaurant on wheels.
Griffin tweeted Wednesday about an odd experience he had with Uber. These were the first tweets he wrote since April, so it's clear they're important:
My uber driver pulled a sandwich out of the glove box, put it on the dash in the sun to warm up, then offered me some. 5 stars all day.

Smells like Bologna but that could be from the glove box/dash prep RT @JimmyTraina: @blakegriffin32 Need to know what kind of sandwich.

Gross.
Maybe the Uber driver thought Griffin was hungry, or perhaps he was just trying to be nice, but either way this is pretty weird.
As an endorser of Subway, Griffin does know a thing or two about sandwiches. He's said that he prefers chicken, and when he's hungry he can eat quite a lot.
"Probably the most I've ever eaten at one time are two 12-inches -- likely oven-roasted chicken breast on wheat," Griffin told ESPN in 2012. "I don’t know if I could even push it any further."
More recently, Griffin has ditched Gluten as part of a quasi-Paleo diet.
Maybe this bizarre experience will be a good way for Griffin to get his mind off the Clippers' disappointing end to the 2015 season. After a dramatic Game 7 win over the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the NBA playoffs, Griffin's team blew a 3-2 series lead against the Houston Rockets.
The 26-year-old said that he's never been "more physically and mentally exhausted" than he was after playing two seven-game series in these playoffs.
