I was in Seattle when the Candwich news hits, so I figured I was too late to cover it. But since then, about seven different people have emailed me about it, so I figure I should weigh in!
The Candwich is just what it sounds like: a ready-to-eat sandwich in a can. The cleverly named but ill-conceived product made news last week when an SEC lawsuit accused Utah investment manager Travis R. Wright of pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into Candwich R&D when he was supposed to be putting investors' money in high-return real estate.
Funny, just the other day I was at Safeway, remarking on the Lean Cuisine frozen sandwich meals and wondering just how lazy you have to be to eat a frozen sandwich. Then came the sandwich in a can.
Remarkably, Candwich has a website and everything, so perhaps it's only a matter of time before I can buy some for my earthquake kit.
