Electronic Sandwich...Thanks Mum?
Posted by Mark Wilson at 2:00 AM on August 21, 2008
While the refined carbohydrates of Wonder bread coupled with the classic duo of butter from crushed peanuts and the fruit that comes in a jar have powered America's youth for generations, the digital era has ushered in a new use for food. Namely, not eating it. This "electronic sandwich" transforms the binary bliss of PB&J into pretty much just binary, and when you add a bit of power, the sandwich lights up:
While the LEDs aren't intended for consumption, you'll surely be able to trade a glowing sandwich for a Nutty Bar or at least a Star Crunch. [Electronic Sandwich via MAKE]

Eeeeewww, my gf likes the waxy fake chocolate of star crunch. Feh!
@Toshie: Nooo, that won't happen. The TSA is educated and suspicious! They'd only accept a sandwich from a "regular" guy. Sandwiches aren't bombs... Although Vegemite might smell like one.

I've heard of an electric monk, but an electric sammich? Unbelievable (except, of course, to the electric monk).

Now apply it to the mystery package in my fridge, and borg-genesis begins.

I'm not sure this is real. Where are the LED's? I'm not saying its not possible but I'm feeling a little skeptical.
