Hold the mayo...
So some dude in Utah named Travis L. Wright collected approximately $140 million from friends and neighbors promising a return of 24 percent on real estate investments (doesn’t anybody read newspapers or watch the 6:00 news anymore?). If this isn’t insult enough to the greedy brainiacs who gave him the money Mr. Wright turned around and, instead of investing the money in bogus real estate, he put it towards the funding of an outfit called Mark One Foods, who is rolling out a product called “Candwich” later this year. Yeah, sandwiches in a can. (Mark Kirkland, president of Mark One Foods, says the shelf life of a Candwich is “excellent.”) Mr. Wright’s pigeons…er, I mean investors are understandably outraged and are suing Mr. Wright for mismanagement of their money. I’m not sure why. Peanut butter and jelly in a can sounds very convenient and much easier to swallow than dusty real estate in Utah.

The candwich has been comedy show fodder -- both John Daily and Stephen Colbert have waxed eloquent. At first I thought the whole thing was a huge put-on but with all the publicity, initial sales will likely go through the roof. I will consider stocking a supply for my earthquake kit. Sounds like a perfect lunch amongst the rubble.
The packaging looks fab!
Where can a get one of each?
Be careful what you wish for! Santa Claus has a horrible habit of granting weird requests that come through during his annual holiday hadj.
