Are you serious ?


In modern times, many students and employers have to rush to their school or their workplace early in the morning after their late night work. As a result, they often forget to stifle their hunger by skipping breakfast which is an unhealthy habit. This can have a negative effect on their health both in short and long terms. Because of this given common health problems, some marketers who work in the food industry have come up with the interesting solution.

According to the article by Megan Bedard, there is new product that can make people’s lives much more convenient. This is known as the Candwich, which is a normal sandwich putting in a can. It will help ease the hunger not only for people who have hectic schedule but also for campers or hikers. So far, the Candwich has three flavours: peanut butter and strawberry jam, peanut butter and grape jam, and barbecue chicken. Besides, apart from its claim of delicious taste, Candwich can be kept without using a refrigerator. Bedard, however, suspects its possibility of harmful adulteration that keep the sandwich fresh.

This innovative product is may be practical and beneficial for many people, but there is a serious concern about the quality of food. The initiative purpose of this convenient package should focus on the nutrition needed for the body to function well the rest of the day after people consume it. This, I am of the opinion, is a challenging factor that many food companies should balance both the quality and the convenience. Otherwise, the intake of this promising product may do harm instead of benefiting people’s health.

  1. awesome idea, but what a very hurry you are!!! Making sandwish for your own might take only 5 minute of your morning time.

  2. I like your point P'tum but for those who cannot cook like me. this may be my last and only supply upon which I can depend.

    I should practise cooking, indeed

    LOBO is good one, right P'tum ?

  3. This post caught my attention more than any other this term.
    First I was horrified; then I decided it must be hoax, but some quick research revealed that it was horribly, horribly real!

    I missed the report in last week's New York Times, but when I Googled, there it was, so if you would like a bit more information on this whole tasteless story, check out "Money in the Bank? No, Sandwich in a Can"

    And now I'm trying to imagine who would buy such a thing? And why? To eat? But perhaps the NY Times's suggested answers to these questions are the right ones.

    Do you know anyone who would buy a "Candwich" to eat?

    Thank you Petch for bringing this riveting item to our attention. I love it (the report, not the Candwich).

  4. It's very interesting, Candwich. haha.
    I think the size of the can is same as the real sandwich, so if quality is bad, it's useless for me.

  5. Petchy, if you decide to use LOBO, you don't need to practice cooking anymore. It's as difficult as using Facebook, indeed.

  6. I do not have Facebook..., as stated in "Facebook and Russian".

    But I will try

    Thanks for your advice, P'Tum

  7. today, I was thinking about what I compared in my last comment. I think it will be better not to compare with Facebook because for some people using Facebook is very very difficult for them such as Apple. I'm so surprised to know that she tried so hard learning to use Facebook. ha ha ha.

  8. Who is Apple! I feel very sorry for her to see the comment from her classmate named Tum.I think she may have an important reason. Perhaps she loves the impression of seeing face to face, calling by a phone and sending mail or telegraph, right?
    Anyway, because I am very closed and inseperable from her, I will tell her that you are concerning about this(and gossip behind her back but in front of the monitor).

  9. Candwich is a fantastic idea. My point is there is one more kind of food that has new packaging and it is an evolution in the food industry. Applying this idea you can save your
    sandwich long enough to sell it in the remote area in your country or overseas country just like other canned food and extend its shelf life. The problem might be how to deliver this product to the one who need it and make them love it so bad.
    According to Steve Jobs's quote"You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new". Who knows this might be the new trendy food for our kid.

  10. Telegraph. Telegraph. Telegraph. For people "like me" absolutely not teleport. Are you clear with Apple's answer?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Apple, do you angry on me? How can I do? Because I'm depressing by your words.How can I stop my tear that falling since I saw your comments. You hurted me. I've been crying for long time. T_______T


    Anyway, maybe, you might learn how to use twitter. It's more useful than facebook, indeed. You can hire me, if you want a trainer of social network na. ie ie ^^

  12. That sound really great. How generous you are to teach low-skilled person like me. If what you called Twitter can give me another channel for verbal fighting, I will certainly not hesitate to read its instruction manual and taking a course with you. Hope the tuition will be not too high.
    p.s. If you are still crying, please read Petch's comment. I think he tries to comfort you(and also me), already.

  13. Ok, first of all, you have to send an air mail to Twitter in order to open a new account. Oh!!! don't forget to attach your cashier chaque to pay them 10$ fee na.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Really! that's fasinating. 10$ for opening the new account. Are you sure this network is not a kind of mafia? Do I need a real dragon tattoo on my back to join in it? Anyway, as you suggested, I am grabbing the cashier chaque in my hand and now on the way to the post office. Please tell me the next step my reliable trainer.

  15. no no no, for apologize, please let me do such task for you. Just give me your money n' I'll open a new account for you. I'm very happy to be your assistant.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Did you say something about tattoo?

    ReplyDelete
  17. How generous you are, Ta Tum. Are you sure that you are my assistant, not my thief. Let's think this way. Maybe opening the new account is for free. and maybe 10$ is going to be in your pocket directly.What kind of person that can commit the evil crime like that.But I "trust" you. You are better than that, right?
    p.s. are you talking about my tattoo or "the other person's"?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Why're you so mean? You call my apologize a "thief". I'm disappointed on you, Apple.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Why did you accuse yourself like that? I haven't say or judge you to be anything yet.Assistant or thief?:it's just a very open question and you do not have to worry about it(except you have that plan in your mind. Anyway, truly from my heart,I did not want to hurt you at all, my assistant(but I don't know why I feel very happy and have this big smile on my face)
