DudeFoods made a towering sandwich with 26 different ingredients, one for each letter of the alphabet, because, well, someone had to see what the alphabet in sandwich form would look like. There’s the ABC’s of sandwiches (also known as the the things that make any sandwich better) in avocado, bacon and cheese along with the other letters which consisted of:
On 4/23, one of the most popular burger chains in Japan, MOS BURGER, is releasing an interesting burger series called “Mos no Natsumi”. It’s a burger that sandwiches a patty between fresh lettuce, NOT BUNS.
It is true that anything called a “burger” or “sandwich” in Japan will be disappointing to visiting foreigners because it is “just not the same” – now MOS BURGER has proudly taken it one step further.
While people in North America have gotten used to sandwiches like the KFC “Double Down” (bacon and cheese between 2 deep chicken filets serving as the buns), MOS BURGER has gone the other way.
There are 6 kinds of burgers/sandwiches in the “Mos no Natsumi” lineup:
– Beef patty with vegetables and aurora sauce (320 yen)
– Teriyaki chicken (320 yen)
– Fish (300 yen)
– Shrimp cake (350 yen)
– Pork cutlet (340 yen)
– Chicken (280 yen)
Period of sales: from April 23 until the beginning of September.
How many times have you skipped breakfast because you woke up later than you should have? If it’s a figure above zero, then I’d say that’s too many. You could start going to sleep earlier so you can wake up earlier, or you could just get the Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker instead.
It’s the ultimate small appliance that’ll let you cook up an entire breakfast sandwich in just five minutes.
It has various levels where you’re supposed to pop in your fresh ingredients. The top plate toasts your bread of choice, be it a bagel, biscuit, or muffin. The slide-out egg plate comes next, followed by the bottom plate where you can toss in some pre-cooked meat. Leave the sandwich maker for five minutes so it can get cooking, and voila – breakfast is served!
Clean up is a breeze, too, because you can just wipe the non-stick surfaces clean and stick the removable parts into your dishwasher.
The Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker is available now for just $29.99(USD).

These Space Invaders reusable sandwich bags are not only awesomely geeky, they are also environmentally friendly. It’s a great way to indoctrinate your kids into classic arcade stuff – and PB and J sandwiches just taste better in a classic arcade packaging anyway.
While most of the aliens represented aren’t the original Invaders, at least one of them is, and the rest get the point across just fine. These bags have a washable, BPA free and food grade compliant lining on the inside which makes the bag more durable, while the white hook and loop velcro-like seal keeps your food fresh and safe.
The Space Invaders bags come from Etsy shop Random Sacks of Kindness who has a bunch of cool handmade sandwich bags in their shop as well. Much to my dissapointment, it looks like this one was sold, but you can bet they will list more and then you can wrap your sandwich up in a cool 8-bit design soon enough.

Two major updates later (three if you count the tablet-exclusive Honeycomb), and Gingerbread is finally starting to falter. According to Google’s latest two week survey of devices accessing the Play store, Ice Cream Sandwich is on the rise, filling out 15.9-percent of the Android user base. That’s a full five points ahead of Android 4.0’s July score, and it’s eating into the OS’ other flavors: Gingerbread (Android 2.3) dropped by 3.4-percent, Froyo (Android 2.2) by 1.8 and Eclair (Android 2.1) by a meager half a percent. Google’s latest confectionery update, Jelly Bean (Android 4.1), made an appearance as well, eking out a shy 0.8-percent of the market. Check out Google’s collection of charts for yourself at the source link below or let us know where your devices falls in the comments.

We’ve seen food recognition tools in the past, but none as slick as this one being trialed at a Tokyo bakery. Co-developed by Brain Corporation and the University of Hyogo, the camera-equipped, automatic checkout is not only quick, but also accurate — it’s even able to distinguish different types of sandwich. And, if it can’t tell exactly what’s on the tray, it’ll give you a list of suggestions and then use your selection to inform later scans. Currently, the system is said to be particularly useful for part-time staff that aren’t completely familiar with the bakery’s offerings, but it also has potential in all kinds of retail situations, much to the disappointment of the trusty barcode. Combine this system with Bakebot, however, and staff won’t be needed at all. If you’re hungry to see the checkout in action, head past the break for a visual snack.
