Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to offer you the new eating sensation everyone is talking about: the candwich.

I really hope this is a hoax, but I get the feeling that it's real.

yes it is genuine. Apparently some investment guy was selling shares in a high tech industry and used the money for the Candwich. He was arrested for securities fraud.

How is it worse than tinned fruit? You can buy that fresh, but it goes off. Tins are handy for long term storage in case of zombie attack or other such perils.

Sandwiches packed in those plastic triangles barely last one day at room temperature. The canned product lasts for months or years. It's not the same at all.

How is it any worse than buying a pie in a tin? They're quite popular, but you have to cook them so they're not even that convenient.

Did you know they sell tinned sponge puddings? People buy them. That's pretty damned similar to a tinned strawberry jam sandwich.

You could keep dried yeast, flour, water, tinned meats and other preserves ready to make your own sandwiches, but you'd need to bake the bread first. Not easy if you're camping.

Bread in a tin does not sound that stupid to me. With no freezer, only McDonald's burger buns keep for more than a month.

I won't be buying it personally. I'd rather eat crackers or pita, which are the traditional method for preserving "bread".

And if the candwich is inedible you can always use them as weapons against the zombies. Those cans will pack a punch when thrown properly.

Indeed. That's why they're forbidden on planes.

Cans, that is. I'm not sure about zombies on a plane.

You just know it will involve Samuel L Jackson shooting the bejesus out of zombies fifty times over without reloading once, yes? ;-)

Oh, and lots of swearing.

I'm affraid that Zombies on A Plane has already been done - clickey.

Condiments as weaponry, we're getting into Discworld Dwarvish bakery products here. Don't think they do canned version though.
