Fancy a kosher Big Mac and a coke while surfing the net for a spot of online shopping? It's now possible in Tel Aviv, Israel, with the opening of MacDonalds first cyber-food outlet.

Computer junkies can satisfy their two favourite habits at the restaurant, which has more than 20 computer terminals where customers can surf the net, according to Reuters.

To get online, punters buy a token for around $2 at the counter. This entitles them to 20 minutes on the Web - or just enough time to wolf down a kosher Big Mac and fries.

"It reflects the lifestyle of youngsters in Israel and in the world - to eat fast food and use the Internet at the same time," said Mr Omri Padan, chief executive of McDonald's Israel.
