This is a cheeseburger. In a can. It's a cheeseburger in a can.
I honestly can't figure out how I feel about this: is it the greatest achievement of mankind thus far, or is it an abomination of foodstuffs that deserves to be hucked back into the gaping maw of whatever food processing plant it was spewed from? I just don't know what to think anymore. Would you eat a cheeseburger in a can? Keep in mind that it'll look nowhere near as delicious as the example above when you pull it out of the can.

Thats it. I am turning in my humanity membership card. I want off this ride.
Blame the Germans, literally. Its their fault for the fall of mankind. Or else this is just another trick to get into France's panties.
Hmm. Can we tag that as a "Cheezy" product?
And they want four frickin Euros for it!
Mmmmmm. I love burgers so much... This is the greatest thing man has ever made. Spam, you've met your match!
there HAZ to be some kinda cat chto this
I can has can cheezburger?
(Frucci, how could you miss this layup?)
I want to eat a cheeseburger from a can more than I've wanted to eat anything, ever.
DO NOT WANT!
Frankly, having spent ten days on a trail, I'd have been more than willing to carry one of those for a week, just so I could have something that hadn't been dehydrated when day 8 rolled around.
@JacquesAss: Eh, I thought it was too easy. But perhaps I should have just given in to the temptation.
How is it any worse than spam?
Mmmmm... cheeseburgers.
Suddenly, I feel hungry...
Well....it can't be any worse than this flan in a box.
@Mobius: Your ideas are intriguing and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
@JacquesAss: I think you're looking for "I haz can cheezburger?"
Clearly, this product needs uncanning photos.
Unless it is genetically modified and slathered with mercury isotopes I'll pass.
(looks for other source of canned meat to kill self)
I STILL haven't figured out how they got Chef Boyardee in a can...now this?!
MADNESS.
@matt buchanan: Because Spam is delicious. Spamburger, Spam and eggs, Spamchilada, deep fried Spam. Mmmmmm, so good it makes my heart hurt...
I want to pick up a few of those and add them to my emergency supply kit. I wonder what the shelf life is.
I was going to try to order one, but I don't read German.
Can I get a can of fries with that?
MMMMM. Cheesburger straight from that can...to my can.
there is NO WAY it looks like that when you take it out of the can.
I'll eat it.
next we'll be seeing cans of coca cola too. we live in good times my friends. "welcome to the wooooorld of tomorrow."
Samuel L. Jackson says this is a tasty burger.
This, gentlemen, is human innovation.
Wow- I can't believe no one wants this. I for one will buy a couple. Can you imagine being stuck in your car during a blizzard or you're digging inside your go bag after the latest disaster- and while everyone around you is eating stale gummy bears and army k rations- you pull out a cheeseburger in a can? Having them will be like having cigarettes in prison.
No worse than most of the other crap we've been eating!
this is gayer than a can of anal lube
The evolution of human technology has reached a new epoch...
@Adam Frucci: When can we expect to see Benny do the hands-on test?
This will be the perfect lunch for me to go along with my canned ham dinner with canned beans and canned milk.
Life is complete.
Someone at Giz needs to taste test this. Please risk your lives for your readers.....serious journalists would.
@kirkvanhouten: "Mother f!*king cheesburgers, in those tiny motherf!*king cans!!!"
@Curves: I smell a contest...or Chen getting diahrea.
@Windhawk: Oh we're working on that, don't you worry. We've got something special planned.
I'd eat it. Maybe not all of it, but I'd definitely open it and take a bite. Can't be a worse experience than the monkey chow guy.
@daver4470:
man im too late to this one, but yeah, "i haz can cheezburger" - how could he miss it?!?
and where were these in 1999?!?! Man, they would have sold great around then...
@tamoko: Do you mind if I have some of this tasty beverage to wash down this tasty burger?
@tamoko:
if I read the word "motherfucking" twice in a sentence my inner monologue automaticaly switches from "Patrick Stewart" to "Samuel L Jackson"
seriously though - try "Patrick Stewart"
"Number one - get me some of those Motherfucking cheeseburgers, in those tiny motherfucking cans!"
McD's is probably still more gross.
This is what the wretched, hacking refugees were eating in the bunker in "Terminator."
OMG...this is the one true hope we have to beat SPAM!!!
@nutbastard: ROFL AWESOME...I about shot coffee out of my nose
@Adam Frucci: Information needed in the test:
1) Shelf life (IMPORTANT)
2) Uncanning photos
3) Benny consumption (and possible ensuing stomach rejection)
4) (possibly unpossable) video or pictures of production. If you're really a gadget site, you need photos of a machine which inserts cheezburgers into cans.
@zenpoet: best... comment... ever
@Canthros:
That's kind of what I was thinking. I can just imagine it:
It's day 10 of a 12 day trek. The stoves are going and it's going to be another night of pasta. Everybody's taking turns saying what they're going to eat after getting back to the real world. You causally wander away and return eating a cheesburger. Then sit back and enjoy as everyone stops talking and just stares. "What?"
The toppings must have gotten re-organized inside the can, the veggies never go on the bottom god damnit.
I would not eat it in a can or in a plane or with a moose.
You should not would not, silly goose!!
But please still bring us silly canned foods.
Like wacky combos, they're entertaining...dudes!
do not want
So many questions that need to be answered!
Do you just throw it in the fire to warm it up? Meat and cheese only to warm up? Eat it cold? Is it a seeded bun? What condiments come with it? Can i get fries with it? Whats the shelf life? Can i get a combo pack?
AHHHH im gonna go crazy! We need to read its instruction label with the quickness!
This is clearly not a cheeseburger, not even a cheezburger.
It's a Canburger.
@Curves: I concur. I suggest starting with a canburger, and finishing with some good old fashioned BATTER BLASTER! pancake.

@cso1982:
coke in can maybe?
@oldmanstan:
zenpoet stop logging in as oldmanstan!
@Bender:
man, the inappropriate cheeseburgering possibilities are endless!
ok not endless (i TRIED to make a list) but still, for middle of nowhere, man that shit is funny.
Please make a video of this wonderous experience. It could start with the uncanning. Then Benny could heat it up in his tubside toaster oven. Then proceed to the money shot: Benny eating cheeseburger in tub while getting chest waxed.
No no can has dis cheezburger. Dis cheezburger is for meh!!!! NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM!!!!!!
