Cheeseburger in a Can

The canned food geniuses at Trekking-Mahlzeiten have created a canned cheeseburger. Gizmag reports that cheeseburger in a can is designed for outdoor enthusiasts who need only to toss the can in boiling water for a few minutes and then open the can and eat the cheesburger goodness found within.

The high tech hamburger has been developed for trekkers and the non-traditional metal wrapping reflects the Trekking-Mahlzeiten company ethos that its speciality meals should be easy to prepare and require only water to do so - simply throw the can into a water container over a fire, give it a minute or two, fish it out, open the lid, and eat. With a shelf life of twelve months without requiring refrigeration, the lightweight snack is the ideal fast food treat for the wilderness.

Chow doesn't believe the cheeseburger in the photograph is really the one that came out of the can. It probably isn't - it looks impossibly larger than the can. But the delicious food you see in commercials often isn't the actual food either. Kudos to Co-ed Magazine for the clever headline, "I Can Has Canned Cheezburger?"

Here's a thorough video review of the canned burger from The Wolfe Pit with ingredient and calorie information.
