If you thought ‘fast food’ couldn’t get any quicker than McDonalds, meet “Candwich,” the brand-new sandwich in a can. In August, Mark One Foods introduced the first Candwich products in limited areas of the United States. Peanut butter and jelly is the first flavor being rolled out, soon to be followed by barbeque chicken.
Aluminum cans keep food fresh for a year or longer, and each part of the sandwich will be individually wrapped to control levels of oxygen, moisture and acidity. Candwich cans are roughly the size of a 24 ounce aluminum can. Since the product doesn’t need to be refrigerated, it can be sold both in stores and vending machines.
The can’s ingredients include a hot dog bun wrapped in cellophane, squeezable packets of peanut butter and jelly, and a piece of taffy for dessert. To eat, simply open the can, unwrap the bread packaging, squeeze on the peanut butter and jelly and you’re all set.
Unlike a sandwich made at home, canned sandwiches can roll around in the backseat of a car for months and still preserve that fresh-from-the-can taste every sandwich lover craves.
But the canned meal sensation doesn’t end with sandwiches. After the PB&J Candwiches roll out in August, they will be followed by canned renditions of other food items, including pepperoni pizza, French toast, and cinnamon rolls.
No nutrition information is available, but my guess is you’d better get a good health insurance policy if you plan to make Candwiches a staple in your diet.
