Cheeseburger in a can: For use in case of society-crumbling eco-disaster

Clearly, the end is nigh. Whether it's peak oil sending society into Mad Max-style squalor, nuclear holocaust, or rising sea levels washing away our cities and causing international chaos, pretty soon you'll be hunkered down in your grandpa's Cold War bomb shelter, hiding from roaming gangs of mutants.

But before you go feeling down about our inevitable self-destruction, take heart -- at least you'll still have cheeseburgers!

Canned cheeseburgers, that is. I'm sure they don't taste great, but at that point you'll be happy for anything that doesn't taste like squirrel or rat. And more importantly, they don't require cooking -- which is useful, seeing as you'll be living in a damp cave without power.

OK, end of the world aside, this is equal parts genius and absurd. I can't believe someone spent money and time figuring out how to can a quarter-pounder, but it's still somehow amazing that this is even possible.
