Candwich? A Canned Sandwich? Please, no.

In our current times, some people are wondering a little bit about the world situation and whether or not 2012 might change the world as we know it. For those who hold stock in some of the theories floating around, stock piling non- perishable goods is going to be an essential part of the preparation for whatever it is that we might be facing. It will be nice to have a wide variety of foods to put away, and I am sure that new ideas are popping up all of the time.

Canned food is great. It can be stored for years without the consumer worrying about it perishing, and it stacks really efficiently. Soups, fruits, vegetables, juice, and soda are some of the delicacies that enjoy being packaged and stored in metal cans, but now we have another meal to enjoy out of metal: bbq chicken sandwiches. Yes, you read that correctly. In fact, in addition to the bbq chicken sandwiches in a can, you can also get a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in a can with your choice of either strawberry or grape jelly. Yes, I am serious.

So far, there are very few details known about what this is going to actually be like; is it going to be already assembled inside of the can? Won't the moisture of the sandwich filling make the bread completely mushy? What kind of preservation chemicals will be used? Is it going to be loosely flopping around? Or will it be tightly packed and sort of pop out when the can is opened in the same way those biscuit dough cans do?

According to the front of the can, there is also going to be a surprise toy inside. Ahhhhh. Another example of using toys to lure kids into the world of laziness and junk food consumption. Well, kids and college students.

I am morbidly interested in this, and like the grilled cheese/ cheeseburger bastard offspring mentioned a few days ago, I would probably try it if I had the opportunity. I would pray, however, that no one in my house liked it so I would never have to buy it again and it would never be in my home again. Because really, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is the easiest meal in the world to make, and if someone is too lazy to make one, they don't deserve one. I'll stick to canned green beans and peaches in my emergency survival kit, thank you.
