I can has cheezburger in a can?

With all the talk of lolcats and their beloved "cheezburgers," it's no surprise that this cheeseburger in a can is spreading like wildfire across the Web. Apparently you just open up the can and take out the cheeseburger, and maybe heat it up somehow before you eat it. Amazing. I guess these mean we're really prepared for the zombie apocalypse.

The "Cheeseburger in a Can," sold by a German outdoors retailer called Trekking Mahlzeiten, is only 257 calories, which is awesome, but it still costs 3.95 euros, which our lousy exchange rate translates into about six bucks. Can or no can, that's just exorbitant; I'll only eat a six-dollar hamburger if it's served at a restaurant with a full bar and a mechanical bull...with really tasty fries on the side.

Another Gimmick

The real question is have they come up with a way of preserving the cheeseburger longer by putting in a can. The answer is probable No. Normal canning methods would probable leave you with a pretty unappetizing mush of bread. This sound about as useful as a novelty T-shirt compress into small package.
