    This is awesome. My plan: starve myself to mid-afternoon or only eat there when it's raining.

    I've been on the Shakeshack DL since I've been out of state. I promise to begin coverage upon my return!

    Hopefully this post increased visibility and will get people to share more line lengths.

    This is excellent!

    I'm proud to have performed this valuable public service, and concur that Charlie's "swarm!" post was a high point in @shakeshack history.

    Um...what do you mean by that? It's clearly junk data, as fun as it may be.

    This is pretty awesome. But is it possible to include error bars of the standard deviation? That would help convey which times are more uncertain than others. Binning the data into 15 min or 30 min increments might also smooth out some of the noise.

    Unfortunately, while the mob was active, there wasn't enough data to do a more rigorous analysis. Hopefully, the article helped increase publicity around the shake shack flash mob and we'll be able to collect more data

    Burger Heaven is better all around.

    I'm glad you think that because it means one less person in line at Shake Shack.
