A disturbing (yet just as hilarious email) crossed my Inbox this morning. It seems that a German company has invented the Cheeseburger in a can.
(Photos I have since found out were originally taken by Honk from the Something Awful Forums).
I guess what they say, pictures tell a thousand words is most appropriate here:
The Can:
Reheating Time:
Almost Ready to Eat:
Looks *Kinda* OK:
Ok Now *THAT* Just looks wrong on so many levels:
I honestly thought that a product like this would have come from the fast food nation of the world… America, looks like I was wrong there.
If you are really interested you can see the website of the makers (good luck unless you can read German). I have to say I would be curious to have a taste, just once.
Well I think this is the *lowest* of lows that food can go… but if there is a market for it I say bring it on.
Has anyone tried these, or had the experience. Also what other crazy foods have you come across in your life?
Until next time - enjoy the above replacement for McDonalds.

That has got to be one of the funniest (yet at the same time disgusting) things I’ve seen in awhile. Thanks for sharing - I got a good laugh!

I can’t imagine how vile it would be. I got one of those frozen microwaveable cheeseburgers once and it was terrible. I rejected it after one bit, and the dog wouldn’t even eat it (and if there ever was an omnivorous scavenger, he’s it).

*grins* how I LOVE turning people stomaches so close to “insert breakfast/lunch/dinner” time.
Glad you liked it moneyloveandchange.
Ian I have had those once before as well, it was as a kid and I swore never again (so for a kid to reject that it would have had to be pretty vile). Worse yet for your dog to reject it to… I *dread* to think of what the one you had would have been like.

Can’t comment on the meat bit as I never eat the stuff, but the thought of a tinned roll and the yucky looking trimmings is too ghastly to think about.

Hi,
I don’t think I’d like to eat anything like that! Canned burgers, holy sh–! Is this safe for human consumption? FDA approved and all that?
Burgers are readily available if one wants high cholesterol of the negative kind, why go for canned ones? It looks weird. I’d say “danke” but that’s it. –Durano, done!

Here’s another bit of worthless garbage… it doesn’t surprise me that it’s a German product, cos cheeseburger contains hamburger, which originates in… Hamburg;-D

That is so gross, lol, yet hilarious. I can just imagine what it tastes like, ugggh.
I bet my husband would eat it!
Shelia’s last blog post..Conversations: Dustin Brown
those photos are from someone going by the name Honk over at the somethingawful forums. there are several more to the set including some closeup photos of the burger and the actual eating of the burger along with a play by play review of the whole experience.

Yeah, now I can have the taste of microwave food while I am camping. They just think of everything.

Lady Banana’s last blog post..Sometimes I Think Enough Is Enough
Heya,
I must agree with you all that the idea of a canned burger is rather… ermm festy. I mean have a look close at the last picture it just looks so mushy.
Durano - I have no idea if it is FDA approved but it is for sale at the website I mentioned LOL.
Shelia - I suggest you buy your hubbie one *grins*… I would love to see his reaction
Robert - Thanks so much for that, I will get over there and have a squiz
Thanks all for the visit.

Wow, and here I thought Vienna Sausages looked incredibly unappetizing. You would have to be very hungry or very lazy to eat that. I am definitely going to have to show this one around.
VampAmber’s last blog post..I Gots Bored (Vote For Me? Please?)
Heya VampAmber,
I think even if I was very hungry I would still re-consider LOL.
Stuart
way too funny!
That thing should seriously have a dentist take a look at it’s tooth decay and gum disease!
madWAHM’s last blog post..Multiple Google Adsense Accounts
This is really funny stuff. I’m actually lazy enough that I’m sure I’d eat it. Put enough Ketchup on something and you can eat almost anything.
Sean Hodge’s last blog post..How to Create Line Brushes in Illustrator
Oh my goodness. I never realize things like those could even exist. The final picture indeed looks wrong at so many levels, it was just so gross. Anyway, thanks for blogging about it, gave me a laugh and a grossed-out look.
Blog-hopping from BlogCatalog, one click led to another, and finally, it led to here.

Heya Linguist-in-waiting,
Thanks for dropping by, awesome that you came from BlogCatalog.
And I have to say to you all, you have no idea how it warms my heart that I have been able to gross you all out. I thank you all *grins evily*.

two words: F***ing No
oh my. the cheeseburger doesn’t look inviting at all.
tipidmeals’s last blog post..LUTONG PINOY NI ALING NENE
Hoi! Funny and light entry. Nice. All things have become instant these days.:D Whoa- hamburger in a can? I agree on you that thinking about anything instant, the US of A would cross my mind as the culprit perpetrators. However then, Europe probably wouldn’t want to be left behind in that sense:D
Incidentally, I have also posted last Feb 14(date of all dates:D) about something that will be instant in the Western world(hopefully not if it be a success. Your hamburger in can came from Germany whilst this one comes from it’s brother country, The Netherlands(popularly known as Holland)an event where it was held for the 2nd time in Europe.
Have a nice day!
God bless!

Heya JazzyJean,
Thanks for the visit and the great info.

wow i’m impressed!

That has got to be the most disgusting thing I have ever seen, but it is the funniest thing I’ve seen today! Thanks for the laugh. All I can say is…WHY??? I just don’t get it at all…oh well.
Thanks again!

I didn’t think it could get much grosser after the advent of “Spam”.
I. was. wrong.
TheMrs’s last blog post..If your child was given a death sentence even before he was born…. what would you do?
Heya Grace
You are most welcome… and all they will respond in answer to your question is… “Why not?”
TheMrs, somehow I sadly feel that this is not the lowest point out there… it *is* pretty bad, but I am sure someone will invent worse.
Stuart
I think that I will stick to spam and steak and kidney pie.
Colin Campbell’s last blog post..After School Trip to the Carwash and Park
A Zeppo to the Rescue! That canned ham(burger) really looks no different than McDonalds… actually it looks a little *better* than McDonalds. Further, while most people associate overweight with us Yanks, I read somewhere that Germany holds the record for obesity.
Paddy Wallbouncer’s last blog post..Did You Google Me?
Heya Paddy,
I will have to look into that and see if I can pull up the statistic. For the record I was more referring to the fact that America has such a large market (due to such a massive population) that often it is where new products such as this are first tried out.
Stuart
Nothing beats US Army C-rations… Green eggs, congealed sausage and gravy… I would take one of those Cheeseburgers over C-rats anyday.
Brian’s last blog post..Long Week
OOOh I dread to think, I have heard that ration packs can be… ermm.. yuk.
I am still curious to taste this cheeseburger just for good measure.

When I was in the US, I was most fascinated by the concept of pressurized “cheese” in a can. Of course, there wasn’t a trace of real cheese in it… just a horrible plastic-looking mound of orange-yellow goo. Ugh.
I was pretty sure that this was as low as the human race would go in terms of foods in pressurized cans, but I was wrong. I recently heard about “Organic Batter Blaster”, which is pancake batter that you just squirt onto a pan.
http://www.batterblaster.com/
One look at the website instantly hardened my arteries. Yuck.
Elizabeth’s last blog post..Just a quickie…
OOOOh no way, I have to find me a friend in the US so that I can try that and do a review.
If there is anyone here in the US that can get a can of Batter Blaster, please let me know.
*grins* what an idea hehe. Elizabeth, I thank you.
Stuart
Wow. That is REALLY disturbing hahaha!
