January 29, 2008: Cheeseburger in a can
http://cellar.org/2008/cbinacan.jpg
Via our old IotD haunt Spluch comes this item... an item most foul. now this is obviously a product photo, and thus barely qualifies for IotD but... uh... it's a cheeseburger in a can. Now take your eyes off the nice plump ordinary cheeseburger in the front of this image.. and look at the can. And consider what, exactly, might be in there. What it might look like. What it might smell like. How long it can last, and why. Yes. A new low, of sorts, has been achieved here. |
Ahh yes... I remember as a boy in the Scouts being fed a miserable device called a "Westlers" burger. These came in a can withno bread bun. And come to think of it, no meat! The firm had illegal vendors carts in Newcastle. When the Police used to turn up, the operatives used to run away & hide. The only people who ate them were drunk.
|
I'm always surprised by the things people eat/buy in other countries. I would expect that nowhere in the U.S. could you buy cheeseburgers in a can. Actually it doesn't look too bad, but, like the man said, obviously a promotional photo. No telling what they really look like. It reminds of a phrase my buddy used to describe me the morning after a hard night out. He said I looked like a can of smashed assholes. And that was from a friend...

Probably better than chewing pine cones and sucking a wet mitten.

But you guys have Cheez Whiz for goodness sake. And Easy Cheese. Like normal cheese is too tricky for Americans? |

Trekking Mahlzeiten is a subsidiary of Katadyn, who are famous for hiking gear, especially water filtration equipment.
T.M. also make a powdered wine to go with your canned cheeseburger. Attachment 16664 And a powdered chocolate mousse for dessert. I expect the cheeseburger would taste like rubber, and I cannot believe that it has lettuce on it - the picture on the can doesn't show this and I can't see how it would survive the canning process. They have, nevertheless, answered a very important question: Yez. You can haz cheezeburger. Anywhere. |
I'll bet White Castle burgers come in a can.
|
I can't imagine how the lettuce and tomato on this thing would taste/feel. Burgers get gooey after sitting around for more than a few minutes -- and this thing exists for weeks at a time inside a can?
Looking at the can itself, I find the choice of packaging to be amusing. Peaceful, coastal landscape to evoke tasty cheeseburger... as if beef came from the sea. |
Where's that "Buy it now" button when you really need it?

What's the best burger? Ground Beef of the Sea |
The real question is: when is somebody going to order one of these things, and post a video on YouTube of themselves eating it?
You could be the first! Imagine the instant fame and celebrity you could achieve! Act now, strike while the iron is hot! Do it now! |

For a second i thought the IotD was Nick Cannon's Special edition of "Drumline." Now thats hilarious. Then again i ask myself the same question when looking at the two...
Why? |

On the subject of spray on cheese. It recently showed up in one of the supermarkets over here, so my husband bought some. We threw it in the bin after opening it. I can't imagine why you'd eat it. |

yes silly me. I should know that if I want something to taste like cheese I should eat something labled cheese. :)
|
i'd try one. what the fuck?

Somebody at Something Awful forums actually bought and tried the canned cheezburger. With pics and full review: And the dude ate it!

It doesn't look as bad as I thought it would

It didn't look nearly as bad as I expected.
|
i thought the can farting on his hand when he opened it was rather unappetizing.
|
I think the Rat King looked more appetizing.
|
well has anyone tried it yet? curious about how it tastes

I remember years ago when we were kids my mother gave us canned whole roast chicken and I nearly barfed when this gloopy thing slid out of the tin covered in jelly.
God knows how old it was but because of the canning process i guess the actual bones of the chicken were soft,I'm just about heaving thinking about it now :vomit: |
Unless you've been clandestinely fed octopus flavored crackers by one of your kids, you really don't grasp the full import of just how fucked up other nationalities dietary oddities can get.
|
We only eat normal stuff in Australia. :)
|
I get the feeling that you will spend more time in the can than the burger if you eat it.
|
and that comes from an authority on having meat in the can.
|
ha ha ha ... lumberjim must have been lurking around this thread, waiting for Sheldon to post!

I'd take "cheese" (sorry, cheesestuff) in a can over that slimy looking meat in the pics of the guy actually eating one of those things. That looks like botulism just waiting to happen.:greenface

Hey, Dana,
You may have to spell out to these merkins that you find that combination a little weird.... :lol: (when I try to explain the sweet/savory thing, it doesn't work. Savory means strong-tasting, not non-sweet. Sweet only being for dessert is a WTF type-of-idea here) |
you guys amaze me - srsly.
|
I just cannot reconcile chocolate chip pancake with meat product....that's like eating ice cream sprinkled with bacon bits....the two are not meant to coexist.
|

Quote:
I agree on the chocolate chip pancake and sausage thing, only because it is probable that the ingredients are not what one would expect. |
Quote:
If the pancake, chocolate chip and sausage were all made out of the expected ingredients would that be ok? :P |
you're asking the people who put maple syrup on bacon. :rolleyes:
(and bacon bits on ice cream, I'm sure) |
It's taken me 5 days to realize it, but a Yorkshirewoman is mocking us for our food??!
http://cellar.org/2008/black_pudding.jpg Black pudding: blood and offal tied into natural intestine wrappers. The blood makes it black. Have a nice day! |
some times a black pudding is just a black pudding.
and sometimes, it's a big black cock. |
I wondered when someone would remember the black pudding. :D
|
And vegamite :BARF:
|
Hey now, that's good stuff!
|
Weird. This morning getting ready for work for some reason the song Land Down Under was running through my head. I remembered when it came out we had never heard of vegamite, I thought he was saying "he just smiled and gave me a bit of my sandwich." LOL
I've tried it. Um...yuck! :) |
