Canned Cheeseburgers How do you say WTF in German

As the old cliché goes, you just cant make this stuff up. The photo you see here has not been doctored. Its directly from the German website Trekking-Mahlzeiten, which offers ready-made meals for hikers. Theyre selling, for $3.95 euros each, a canned cheeseburger. Of all the food products Ive wished existed, I can say that a canned cheeseburger has never crossed my mind. Ive added a link to the site in hopes that someone orders one, and writes a review for the site. Frankly, I just dont have the guts to try one myself.

As disturbing as the thought of a canned cheeseburger is, what really bothers me about the photo are the garnishes. Im assuming it doesnt come dressed with lettuce and tomato, and that these are just "serving suggestions" to make the whole thing seem less horrible. But, cucumbers? Cucumbers? Do Germans put cucumbers on their cheeseburgers? Imagine the shame for the citizens of Hamburg. Its enough to make you want to move to Frankfurt.

UPDATE!!!
Thanks to a tip from scallywag, here is a live taste test of the above mentioned canned cheeseburger! I dont speak German, but you really dont have to in order to understand this review. Enjoy?
