The Sandwich Times - Volume 6

1. People, People, enough about KFC double down. 



                                                       (source kfc.com)
I know it exists, I know its really savage, I know it pushes the limits of Sandwiches as interpreted through Article 31 of The Vienna Sandwich Convention, 



BUT 
It's the Snakes on a Plane of Sandwiches... 




Parallels 
  • Both were discussed, early in their development stages, on the net
  • Both caught internet/blogsphere fire,went extremely viral, and were launched to extreme news coverage from both new and traditional media 
  • Both the presence of actual snakes on a airplane and the double down have a tendency to increase sodium levels   
  • Both are probably what you would expect them to be (One has Sam Jackson being really Sam Jackson-y, the other has the colonel's best + bacon + swiss) 
  • Neither are going to have a lasting impact on anyone. 

2. In a news story that is equally ridiculous, a man recently dislocated his jaw on a giant sandwich:  



The sandwich in question, from regional U.S. sandwich chain "Which Wich", was named "The Wicked" which (sorry for all the W's) contained: Turkey, Ham, Roast Beef, Pepperoni, Bacon, Cheddar, Pepper Jack & Mozzarella. This clearly was not enough for Chad Ettmueller, who ordered "Double Meat, Double Cheese"...


Surprisingly , instead of suing (as is the tendency in the sandwich-crazy litigiousness of the U.S. class-actions), they seemingly decided to turn it into a commerical instead? 


 
    


3. A new feature in the Sandwich times is a posting of the analytics from Canwiches, to give you the who (reads this blog), what (are they reading), where (do they come from), and how (the hell did they get to an obscure blog about sandwiches) of this Great Canadian Sandwich blog. 

The following google searches lead people to Canwiches (in no particular order) 


1. chowhound mutual street deli 
2. henderson county cold cheese sandwich
3. best canadian sanwich shops 
4"i'm messing up your google search stats" OR canwiches 
5. the canadian sandwich 
6. chopped liver sandwich Montreal


4.  For anyone whose ever been interested in how to construct the most famous hilarious oversized sandwich, 
the dagwood,
