Thanks to Mark One Foods, the dream of one day having a sandwich in a can is now nearly a reality. Hoping to go into production later this year, the president of Mark One Foods says the Candwich has an excellent shelf life, and we can look forward to four delicious flavors: PBJ Strawberry, PBJ Grape, BBQ Chicken, and Pepperoni Pizza. As an added bonus, the two PBJ varieties come with a candy surprise inside the can (?!). Marketed as a convenient and no-refrigeration-needed food, the Candwich website touts the canned sandwiches as "the perfect product for people on the go such as students, construction workers, soccer moms, and outdoor enthusiasts." I'm not sure which to be more wary of--this convoluted canned sandwich, or the new mozzarella-stuffed grilled-cheese sandwich from Denny's...

I could see putting some of these into an emergency food stock, but for normal days? Hm... if I'm too busy to slap together a PBJ and stow it in a food container to go, I'm completely TOO BUSY and should rethink my priorities. The cans would be pretty funny in a vending machine, though, especially if the BBQ sandwich and pizza were dispensed warm/hot.

I hope it turns out at least as good as the canned cheeseburger.
@HopeSew I don't know about using it for an emergency kit. It depends on how well it stores, sure most canned foods last a year or two easy, but something like this would be good for the truck of the car if it cant take summer heat or winter cold, I might have to pass on it. But it is something to look out for.
Yeah, I agree with you for normal days this is just to over the top, but as a vending machine item it would rock.

Well, for hurricane season, it only needs to last from May through November, and I try to eat or give away and replace the stocks between seasons.

Barbecue pulled pork sandwiches just seem to scream summer to me but I always dreaded the thought of having the oven on all day when it was already so hot out.
