I really haz can cheezburger

I’m not sure how to classify this. Is it a travel gadget or a travel tool or a tip? Whatever it is, yes, it really is a cheeseburger in a can! It defies categorization. And I am simply stunned at how good that burger looks when it comes straight out of a can.

I can’t figure out how I’m supposed to feel about this thing: Are we witnessing the downfall of humanity or its crowning achievement? I do believe it indicates that we are in the future.

Now 4 Euro does seem an awful lot to pay for a burger, but that’s only because of an unfavorable exchange rate. That said, the cheeseburger-in-a-can comes from Trekking-Mahlzeiten, a an 80 year old company that, ironically, provides food to Special Ops, extreme adventure athletes, and international relief organizations.

In any case, a guy online bought one and ate it to appease mass curiosity. His verdict:
“I'm not sick and I say I would eat this thing again if it weren't so expensive.
And I really must say that this probably is faaaar better when you're many kilometers away from civilization on top of some mountain and you can whip out a cheeseburger with nearly the same quality as a McDonald's cheeseburger while your friend eats dry bread or power bars.”

Keep in mind you're not supposed to look inside a McDonald's burger either

Overall the opinion was that the bottom bun was a little soggy, probably due to a cooking error, and that the overall taste was a little bland. He cooked it in a boiling pot of water for about 10 minutes, popped the top and munched away. Pretty straight forward instructions… and you could add a little class and celebration by reconstituting some dehydrated red wine!



The future ROCKS!
