Apr 8 2009Scanwiches: They're What's For Lunch
Scanwiches are cross-sectioned sandwiches that have been carefully digitized using a flatbed scanner. Each one provides a HQ picture of what to expect from a particular sandwich from a certain sandwich shop or deli. For instance, this is a Salami, Coleslaw, Tomato, and Mustard on a seeded roll from Parisi Bakery. Looks delicious! Now, if I just had a taste and smell-o-vision enabled computer monitor, I'd be in porkchop sandwiching heaven right now. But I don't, so you may be wondering why I'm licking the screen anways. You see, The Superficial Writer promised me a sweet boob post this afternoon, so I'm stretching. Now -- bringeth thine boobs, mine tongue awaits! Also, I brought a gauntlet just in case a certain dragon needs slaying.
Hit the jump for several more of the deliciousness and a link to the website.
Thanks to krismothy, who once tried to scan a Bacon Explosion with incendiary results.

Did you guys install some kind of custom software that automatically adds a moldy ass bread look to anything to scan? SWEET!

@3: It's a Mold Mod. You can get instructions on how to install them here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiaBjpzLgQI

btw, what's the point and why waste time cleaning that thing or wasting a scanner on those.

Let me get this straight, they post THIS, but ignore my submission about scientists in the U.S. teaching household plants to Twitter? Lame, man....

This reminds me of a christmas party i went to at a popular software company based in redmond, wa. where the lovely secretary with the hair on her chin got drunk and sat on the photocopier. I haven't been able to eat tuna salad since.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow'
s are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene uin the movie Never Back down where Max and Baja were eating in a deli and Baja was showing Max how she fakes orgasms. After she was done, an old lady by her said - I'll have whatever she's having.

Are you sure this wasn't done with a flatbread scanner?
I kill me.

@naas
I'm on it naas. I won't let you down. On second thought, I probably will.
That last picture is of a shit sandwich. Enjoy.

Daisy, I freaking love you.
GW, my marriage proposal still stands. I'm preparing the "November Rain" wedding dress as we speak.

If you are unsure what comes on the turkey sub with lettuce and tomatoes, you should be shot. Then again, after looking at the sandwiches from whatever place these are from, I'd rather gnaw off one of my knuckles.
15. geologygirl420 - April 8, 2009 2:25 PM
@13 Heather you are obviously a skank who professes love for daisy and a marriage proposal for the Geekologie writer at the same time. I have a real crush on him bigger than a Seismosaurus.

19. sweetdee - April 8, 2009 4:05 PM
this is cool and artful, but do you really want to eat something after you've smashed it against your scanner? regardless of how clean it was.
20. guate6 - April 8, 2009 5:19 PM
I don't get it...why not cut it in half and take a photo?
21. Fish Fish - April 8, 2009 8:46 PM
See, 'cause a flatBREAD scanner is a play on flatBED scanner and since it's about sandwiches, I thought... well, ha ha, you know...
I'll go now.

Does anybody know where i can buy a frame made out of french fries?
It'd look quite lovely over my fire place

@Fish Fish
I was about to make the Flatbread scanner joke if no one else had. I am glad to see someone else out there has a sense of humor. priceless.

Yes ma'am I will!
It's great here, I cannot believe how many electronics they have that we don't yet - and It's only been a day. I am going to come home with so much crap I should be able to make robot Daisy that could take out Kane with it's robotic miiiind ☻
28. PeteyPeppo - May 3, 2009 4:13 PM
Shouldn't that be 'flat-bread' scanner?. :D
