Horror Foods - the Candwich

July 10th 2010 22:12
Why oh why do people feel the need to make amd invent hideous food ideas?

The latest innovation in sandwich technology is the Candwich, the sandwich in a can.

candwich, food technology, Mark One Foods


The foodstuff is sold inside a 3oz pop-top can and comes in three delicious flavors: PBJ Strawberry, PBJ Grape, and BBQ Chicken. Thankfully, only the first two have candy surprises inside.


Its makers, Mark One Foods, hope to go into production later this year, maybe after its inventor clears up that whole nasty SEC lawsuit that alleges he took investors money intended for real estate investments and put it in canned sandwiches instead.

Their website claims it is the perfect product for people on the go such as students, construction workers, soccer mums and outdoor enthusiasts. I pray these people aren't idiots and would prefer to make their sandwiches at home and with a bit more beneficial content in it. The Peanut butter and jelly flavours contain candy surprises - wtf is that??

The website also claims it has a long shelf life - and while this assures me it has more crap in it than a McDonalds burger - the site states it's "perfect for emergency food storage needs in the event of natural disasters" - if this is what I have to eat after a natural disaster I hope I am at the epicentre of said disasters


It is nearly as bad as my other hideous favourite food - the chicken in a can

Chicken in a can, vomit, unusual food

Within 5mins of this article going live Candwich started following me on Twitter - the food mafia is out to get me now.

Totally Lara - I feel sick at the thought of putting one in my mouth! But if I ever see one I will try it to see how hideous it actually is

Wow, I thought when they combined peanut butter and jelly in the same jar in the States that was gross. This takes the cake. Although that being said, I would eat the PBJ Crandwich a million times quicker than that OMG!!! chicken in a can! Holy cow.

I'm one American who takes pride in stating I've never bought that PBJ crap in a jar!

I hear ya BA - I do sometimes make English muffins toasted with peanut butter and jelly (or jam as we call it in Australia) and love it. But not out of a jar and not in a sandwich in a can - YUCK. Chicken in a can = vomit!!

I am American and I am ADDICTED to vegemite. Believe me when I say, it is absolutely sinful to make an english muffin, butter it well, and put vegemite on it. YUM! I eat them for snacks, two at a time.

There seems to be trouble brewing with the creator of the Candwich

According to a new lawsuit filed against Travis L. Wright, the mastermind behind the aluminum-encased sammy, this guy used his investors money to make this stellar creation, which was NOT what the investors gave him money for.

The lawsuit states Travis raised $145 million from 175 investors between 2001 and 2009 for an alleged real estate venture. In that time span, the only pieces of real estate he purchased was one random $6 million property and $15 million home for himself, which he then paved the driveway in cobblestones from France.

The rest of the money went into the crazy scheme known as the Candwhich.

Alas, now the tastu treat making Hot Pockets quiver in fear may never see the light of day. If Travis is found guilty, he'll have to pay all that money back and then some, we're sure. Even if he rushed released those canned PBJ's, they would never make enough money in time, though they would surely stay fresh for years to come.

Yay BA!!! Love vegemite - you should try it under eggs on toast. Beautiful! That's my fave way to eat it.

Thanks for the added info Deni - I do mention it in the article - but not as detailed. But he is the food mafia - he will survive and watch out now you have mentioned it - you could be on his list now

Gotta say, while both are pretty awful ideas, going by the photos, I'd take the sandwich over the chicken any day - that shot just makes my stomach churn!

I think everyone would agree with you on that one Melissa.

You couldn't have said it better! When I read the article about the "candwich" I thought WTF??? Some people just don't get it. FRESH FOOD is the way to go.... and I second you: "if this is what I have to eat after a natural disaster I hope I am at the epicentre of said disasters" LOL

By the way, great blog!!

Cheers.
