Canwich: Sandwich in a can

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/38268129/ns/today-foodwine/?gt1=43001

Will you eat it? Also comes in: Pizza in a can. French toast in a can. Cinnamon rolls in a can.

"Why a can? Because, when combined with techniques similar to those used to preserve Meals Ready-to-Eat for soldiers, an aluminum can keeps food fresh for a full year or even longer. Yes, that's right: A fresh, year-old sandwich."

Willmy fellowOTers buy this?

I am stocking up on those for 2012 :shock: Awesome invention.

I'm not at all surprised by wheres its from, and no i wouldn't eat it.

I don't get it. Is there an actual sandwich in there or is it a drink? The top of the can looks like a soda can.

Just goes to show that you can can anything.

That's what I thought. :lol:

But from the sound of the article it's food. The top is perplexing though.

Well the pictures suggest that the contents are solid, and the top looks like the type of handle you would get on a can of spam.

Huh, actually I just looked at the bottom of the article (i didn't scroll all the way last time) and there are pictures of it, and it is food. Maybe it's one of those tops that peel off? *shrug*

Read number 6.

hmmm personally I find it disgusting, but food processing is relevant to my education and I find this fascinating.

The lady in the picture sure seems to enjoy it.

it does look pretty weird, i might try it, but wouldnt eat it just for fun, probably just as last resort

From what I understand, yes it is the actual food item inside the can. I was thinking about the same thing about the can and thought it was liquid that taste like BBQ chicken sandwich and pizza.... ewww

I think that's the author of the article :p

Yes, and if use properly this invention would have real world beneficial application. As the article mentioned soliders on the front line and survivors in Haiti can probably benefit from this

She approves.

Well that's good enough for me.

Hasn't Japan had canned bread and sandwiches for awhile now.

[QUOTE="Ramen1020"]

She approves.

MystikFollower

Well that's good enough for me.

if you read the article, though, the product she got was not in the can. It was fresh and simply shipped to her, a "hot dog bun" with two packets of pnut butter and jelly.

the product still needs to undergo the actually processing that canned goods go under, namely to prevent botulism.

Honestly, though, this product is not that bad: if you have ever eaten a Twinkie or other Hostess cake product, that is likely slightly worse than this lol.

It took you this long to hear about it? Does no one watch the colbert report?

I don't watch the Colbert Report. In fact I don't watch a whole lot of TV, hence the thread about it here.

And judgingfrom the responses so far, it seems not that many people are aware of it either

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]

A twinkie is a much simpler product than a sandwich though. I still don't get the point of this disgusting product. A sandwich takes all of, what, 1 minute to make? Just make the thing.

mrbojangles25

Well not for those in awar zoneor disaster stricken areas :p Its incredible long shelve life makes it a potential ideal aid item

Television is not a life necessity for some people :)

I would buy two.

A whole chicken in a can

Why? Why, Why oh Why does any one need this?

There are already a million types of pre-packaged sandwhiches.

That having been said, It is a bit interesting.

I am stocking up on those for 2012 :shock: Awesome invention.

xionvalkyrie

Yeah making a sandwich isn't very hard. Just get some bread and spread peanut butter and jam on it and you're done in a minute. In fact the sandwich isn't even ready in the can, you still have to make the sandwich. So what is the whole point of thisthen?
