If you thought Spotted Dick was the high-water mark of culinary convenience, I give you: Cheeseburger In A Can. http://gizmodo.com/350091/cheeseburger-in-a-can-is-both-the-best-and-worst-thing-ive-ever-seen Rock. On.
Some gems from the forum: i haz can cheezburger? Can I get a can of fries with that? Do you mind if I have some of your beverage to wash down this tasty burger? In is not from a broiler, it's not from an oven, Its something you eat, it's the taste you'll be lovin, It cheesy and greasy and you can eat it with one hand, Its the best invention ever, cheeseburger in a can!
Appears that one of these things goes for almost $6. You can get a whole bag of bargain burgers from the drive-thru for that much.
The Onion AV Club obtained and taste-tested one of these. http://www.avclub.com/content/feature/taste_test_cheeseburger_in_a

The only foods left? 1) Creamed Eels 2) Wadded Ham 3) Corn Nog
