A missed opportunity to have the label just look like a cheese burger.

Considering that the worst cheeseburger I've had in my entire life was in Germany, that looks about right.
How can Germany be bad at hamburgers?
That's where Hamburg IS.
Just because it started there doesn't mean it's good though.
My worst hamburger/cheeseburger (whatever that disgusting thing was) ruined my day and a half. It was in Gdynia, Poland in late 1990s and the taste was beyond bad but I was really hungry.
It was some disgusting piece of unidentified minced swine meat, pickles, enclosed in old bun and filled to the brim with despicable mixture of ketchup and mustard.
A perfect metaphor for what this country was back then. The one meal that described its aspirations and shortcomings.
The one I had in Germany was disturbingly uniform in its thickness (which was quite thin), dry, didn't taste like much, and was absolutely overflowing with shredded lettuce. It was kind of like what someone would make if you described a hamburger to them briefly and they just kind of winged it.
As disgusting as these appear and sound on paper, every single review I've seen across multiple brands of these canned hamburgers/cheeseburgers has been positive. Because of those I'd give 'em a try if I ever saw them for sale.
Look, you've been out in the wild in the rain and then get a bit of hot canned cheeseburger, of course it's going to taste great.
"Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker."
I will not hear a single bad thing about these. They were a gift of the gods and were only removed to punish humanities sinfull nature.
Repent, I say. REPENT!
I've had these, and they are actually pretty good. But you will burn your tounge. Badly.
I’m starting to suspect Dr. Oetker’s credentials may not be real…
No, it's real. He got an actual doctorate and a specific patent on baking powder.
I didn't come here to learn something!
Pretty sure Ashens covered Trekking food in an old video on yt.
I've noticed Ashens is kind of winding down, release schedule is basically just the holidays now, has he announced anything? Retiring etc?
Haven't heard anything about retiring yet. I think part of it is a lot of the pound shops he depended on for tat have gone away. On top of that, after all these years I would guess that he is running out of novel junk from his collection to talk about. He's also been working on his feature films too, which may be more rewarding to him in the long run than reviewing wonky toys and terrible food.
I'm cool with him slowing down as long as he's enjoying himself.
I think he's making another movie.
after Polybius Heist?
Yeah, he making a horror film - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ashens/turn-back-a-folk-horror-film-told-in-reverse
I remember watching youtuber try these out. She said it tasted better than she expected. Like, not good, but edible enough in a pinch.
