I didn't really want to buy this sandwich...but when I saw that it would last for 100 days, I couldn't help myself. They must have designed anti-bacterial breads and luncheon meats. My attempt at reverse engineering this anti-spoiling technology failed. It tasted like a regular sandwich. Perhaps I should buy another and wait out the required 100 days and then repeat my investigation.
Better yet. I should make a timelapse of how the sandwich stays exactly the same over 100 days and then set it to some cool music like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_vFd16w70E&feature=related

Am I reading this correctly? This sandwich was originally priced at $18.90??!?
ReplyDeletehey! that's hilarious!
ReplyDeletei remember buying a sandwich at an airport once...they were advertising how fresh their stuff was by marking the time that it was assembled on each sandwich...the time stamp on mine was in the future...apparently i ate the sandwich even before it was made :(
I think the 18.90 is the price per kg...but that still doesn't really make sense...
ReplyDeleteAre you absolutely sure that the label-maker wasn't spitting out what it thought was 0.5kg of smoked turkey breast (at $18.90/kg)...but then the cunning Hasty Market guys used it as a label for smoked turkey breast sandwiches...and had to put a new price on it? ...so then does that mean the turkey will last for 100 days but all bets are off on the mayo and lettuce?? I still don't feel like we're at the bottom of this...but I feel a little closer...maybe smoking the meat really does preserve it that well...I think we need to go find someone who was alive and taking notes before the invention of the refrigerator and ask them... I wonder what their best before date is?
