# Canned Cheeseburger Junk Food With 12 Month Shelf Life By Cowbag | Published 2008-01-28 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-canned-cheeseburger-ultimate-in-convenience-food References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/the-canned-cheeseburger--fast-food-in-the-wilderness/8713/) To me thinking of camping food brings on images of dehydrated space style food with ice cream being the most exciting thing on offer. However, Swiss-based company Katadyn have begun to change all of that with the ultimate in convenience food. The World's first cheese burger in a tin! All the food the company produces have to only need water to prepare and have a shelf life of twelve months with no cooling. I love the cheese burger concept but must admit I am more taken with their dehydrated red wine which - when reconstituted - has a alcoholic content of 9.27% with a matching mulled wine available for expeditions on the cold. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Convenience Food Innovation:** Opportunity for companies to develop and market convenient food options that require minimal preparation and have a long shelf life. - **Dehydrated Food Revolution:** Potential for businesses to explore the development of dehydrated food products that can be reconstituted with water, offering a lightweight and space-saving alternative for camping and outdoor activities. - **Alcohol in Non-liquid Form:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to create and market dehydrated or powdered alcoholic beverages, providing convenient options for outdoor enthusiasts and travelers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** Companies in the food and beverage industry can explore new product development in the area of convenient, long-lasting food options for camping and outdoor activities. - **Camping and Outdoor Gear:** Opportunity for manufacturers and retailers of camping and outdoor gear to expand their product offerings with dehydrated food options that cater to the needs of outdoor enthusiasts. - **Alcohol and Beverage:** Innovative opportunity for alcoholic beverage companies to venture into the development and production of dehydrated or powdered alcoholic drinks, targeting the outdoor adventure market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Canned Christmas Dinners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meal-in-a-can.md) - [Cheese-Mixed Canned Beans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesy-beanz.md) - [Canned Meat Snack Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spam-cheesy-bites.md) - [Heat-and-Eat Grilled Cheese Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunchables-grilled-cheesies.md) - [Chunky Burger-Flavored Soups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campbell-chunky-burger-soup.md) - [Street Food-Inspired Burger Balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-balls.md) - [Sausage-Shaped Grillable Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesedog.md) - [Burger-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeseburger-ice-cream.md) - [Grillable Cheese Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-bangers.md)
