Food in a Tube: Gross or Awesome?

I already subsist on a primarily tooth paste and whipped cream-based diet.

They will never replace the cheeseburger.

But already has the cheeps (pringles come in a tube).

As long as nobody messes with our cheesebugers. L.O.L.

I have already stocked up on lots of this stuff! And when the chit hits the fan and you are starving you will be sorry you didn't stock up!!!

Not to worry. 2012, Romney looses so we have a little more time left. =)

I hope you live in a big city. They are going to experience the worst of it and you deserve it for aiding and abetting a known criminal.

I can add my own personal note to this.

Back in the Day when backpacking became the latest craze one of the hot items sold by the outdoor stores were open rollup tubes for storing energy food. I got a couple of these for a walk across Cumberland Island with some co-workers and filled them with a mixture of peanut butter, pea soup and mashed potatoes.

Seemed like a good idea at the time. The bottom was secured with a plastic clip that resembled a miniature clothes pin and you could roll it up as you squeezed the tube.

Never mind I used to be allergic to peanuts and still didn't really like the taste. It was about the protein and I believed the other ingredients would mask it out. (Right.)

After we had set up camp I uncapped one of the tubes and started sampling the contents. They were warm after spending our long hike in the S. GA late spring weather inside my pack. One of the others saw me and said something about Space Food. He had a point. Apollo was only a few years behind and memories were still fresh.

-But so was the film Soylent Green. I think that plus the residual taste of peanuts in the mix was enough to make this a one-time effort. I never used those tubes again.

Food is to enjoy all the benefits of it: looks; smell, texture, and just tastes good. Real food that is.

Is this why America is so awfully fat?

In the woods or lost IT WOULD BE GREAT ??" I wonder if you can heat it up in mirowave(for those who can't cook). How do you get pasta to come out ?? Applesauce, puree, OK. I woud like to know why would you want to eat it at home ?? How do you "season" it ?? I saw some "tube" food in "shoppers" in baltimore. It was "babyfood." Adult food in a nonemergency situation, MAYBE NOT !! I might try SOME TYPES ?? Sounds like a question for MICHELLE OBAMA: Would she like to feed "this" FOO)D to the "OBESE" children of the US?? Maybe ship it to some "starving people in other parts of the world?"

hell ya, id put some on my sandwich

What if your bread came in a tube too? =D

then i would put them both in an ice cube try with some tooth picks and make some little food popsickles. lol.

with all the many ways to package foods and condiments i think that is a nice way to pachage things. the ease of not having to use a knife from a tube that squirts, brilliant if i do say so myself.

Gross, unless you are spreading it on a cracker or toasted baguette slices, then it might be ok.

thats probably what its for, why else would it be in a tube. i like the idea actually. i am surprised i dont see it here in stores

looks kind appetizing :)

its food, in a tube

GENIUS!!!

Oh ghods. It isn't made by Acme is it?

no, its made by kavli.

im sorry but i like to chew my food

No thank you!!!

Saw some in SkyMall a few months ago.

If you use Tooth Paste to brush your teeth (mouth) . . . ? ? ? . . . Then would you use THAT Tube Stuff to brush your ass? . . . I am just asking . . . ? ? ?

how convenient!

ew

I use this, it's great, tomato paste in a tube, you use what you want, cap it off, refrigerate the rest and it's still good when you need it again. I used to open a can of tomato paste, use a spoonful, refrigerate the can then toss it a month later, the tube is a much better idea!

Great idea for a "go bag". The question is how long does the food inside remain edible.

pretty long time

Awesome, if it's fruit or jelly or something like that... gross if you're talking roast chicken dinners and so forth, although, tube hot soup might be good...

this thing wontlet me edit the discription since its on the top questions but its condiments and stuff, not actuall food food.

Man suppose you accidently grabed a tube of minty fixadent by mistake?

I wouldn't even brush my teeth with that.

Part of the appeal of food is in how you eat it.

Ew, just gross

Some ideas just aren't that great.
