Hamburger in a Can
The first cheeseburger in a can is now reality thanks to Trekking-Mahlzeiten, a company that specializes in canned food for all those that like to travel.
It will last for a year and to prepare it you need to boil it unopened in water for a few minutes. I am very curious to try this Cheeseburger, and of course I am not the only one. Since yesterday this new product has made quite a stir through the Internet community. Finally some guy called Honk went to a near by store and bought the damn thing.
He cooked it, ate it and gave a review on it:
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.
