I loved the demented ghost of mickey just joining in the chorus of "ha~ndwich!"

And this is supposed to be an Arby's in _Limbo!_

I worked at ARby's before and its common for people to order beef and cheddars or roast beef sandwiches without the buns

i feel like that's a pretty normal order tbh. people with celiac disease often order burgers & sandwiches without the bun because most fast food places dont offer gluten-free options

That was my favourite, tied with the 1984 joke.

I think the real issue with the handwich is that they tried so heavily to market it as a remarkable and mindblowing "sandwich of the future" which doesn't really shore up to the disappointment you get when you bite into what tastes like a normal and generic chicken/tuna salad wrap in the shape of a cone. If they offered this without all of the disney brand TM patenting and fanfare then I'm sure they would still be selling it to this day. It seems pretty convenient and I can imagine it would taste awesome with a brioche or puff pastry cone with some barbecue chicken, lettuce and onions, or even dessert styled crepe fillings. Just don't try to make it sound like something it's not.

Okay, the cone thing is cute, but I want something crusty. Tastier and more structurally sound

It's like a big Japanese hand roll except instead of filled with rice it's filled with wet stuff that would likely leak.

All roads lead to Eisner. He is the genesis of the Odd in this world.

@@chompythebeast botanist, something with "pissed" and uhhhhh... lemon twist?

The name definitely sounded cheesy and unappetizing, I agree with Castle Cone being more viable!

I was going to say the same thing, “handwich” is the least magical word I could possibly think of.

I mean, Pokémon nailed it with the _Casteliacone,_ so we know for a fact that it could work...

it also implies that the shape is the novelty, instead of that it could be eaten using your hands. The fact that it was marketed as a revolutionary sandwich you could eat with your hands is so fucking ridiculous that it was bound to fail

Let me get a roast beef knuckle sandwich

Someone should go back in time and tell Eisner that. Aside from too-out-there ingredients, he was let down by the dumbest marketers on Disney's payroll (and considering everything ELSE, that's _really_ saying something).

I agree

The castle cone legit sounded good. The handwich sounds like an SNL/MADTv skit...

I totally agree with that statement dude!

Hmm I don't know. Like, out of context I expect "Castle Cone" to be some kind of elaborate ice cream cone, and any time something sounds like it's ice cream but isn't ice cream, my disappointment is immeasurable.

That's my thoughts on point

The surreal aspect of this episode is definitely unprecedented for this show, but definitely not unexpected. Kevin has always used some form of humor, especially deadpan, to some degree since the beginning. He’s truly cranked it up to 11 though in the more recent episodes.

Now I understand why we always called him "Two Handwich Kevin"

The marketing team in general just seems awful. The initial concept of the castle cone sounded really good, then they changed it to a giant tuna salad icecream cone called the HANDWICH

@@aarOuOn Yeah. Nobody was thinking this one through.

That was legitimately poetic. Replace sandwich with something a bit more abstract, and you, too, can impress the hipster kids in your hometown. Or, keep it as sandwich, but be careful. You don't wanna come across as too good.

eyoo twewy icon

Eisner was consistently funny while trying his very best to be as serious as possible. Such a dork.

John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich invented the sandwich for that very reason.

@@carlbirtles4518 The 8th Duke of Beaufort, who lived at Badminton House, invented badminton in the mid 19th century (initially as a variant of tennis which used a shuttlecock, which had been introduced to England from India a few years previously), in order to avoid damaging paintings and other valuables when playing tennis indoors.

@@nathangamble125 this is so cool, thanks for sharing

That's not true !

You can ride anything if you try hard enough. 😼

I would have gone with, "if you bought one, you got taken for a ride."

Me too. I suppose because Eisner's time as CEO seems recent, but he left 15 years ago and was there for a long time. He started as CEO of Disney only 16 years after that world's fair and would have been in his early 40s as an executive. That means he was not just alive during the fair but in his mid 20s.

@@sswpp8908 wait what!? I assumed he was in his 30s when he was CEO & had to be a kid then (around 10)! This is absolutely mind blowing to me

@@sswpp8908 Is Eisner even still alive? I imagine that, if he is, he's getting up in age?

Kinda unrelated , but there’s this clip floating around KZfaq of this 1950’s game show where they brought on the last surviving witness to Lincoln’s assassination. He was 96 at the time of his appearance, and he was 5 on the day Lincoln died. That one really broke me

@@Kaltagstar96 He'll be 80 next year according to Wikipedia.

Well, that's where the name came from. People have been putting things between bread since....well for as long as we've had bread.

A better tagline would have been, "The handy sandwich!™"

I heard the story was he wanted something he could eat with his hands (plural) at the card table (instead of knife and fork).

I heard that story he wanted something that he could eat with his gloved hands (plural) at the card table (instead of exposing his soft, fleshy hands).

I suspect the issue was that, unlike British sandwiches or the sort of things kids get in their lunch box both sides of the Atlantic, which tend to be fairly simple affairs specifically designed to be made quickly, transported easily, and eaten on the go and/or one-handed, US deli-style sandwiches tend to go for hugely overloading the fillings, using more fillings than the bread can contain and/or using ones that make a mess. As such the handwich was sort of an attempt, via the extremely dodgy application of first-principle reverse engineering, to create the solution for a problem that never needed to exist outside of a deli in the first place.

It's common for people on low-carb high-protein diets to order burgers sans buns. One of the local places where I live will dice up the patty and serve it on a salad for you instead. It's weird, but it has its place.

I can't imagine going to Arby's for food at all, but whatever.

If you've ever ordered anchovies on pizza, you've committed an unfathomably greater sin.

THINKING QUICKLY, KEVIN CONSTRUCTS A HOMEMADE BARBECUE SAUCE USING ONLY SOME ONION, VINEGAR, SUGAR, AND BARBECUE SAUCE.

Lmao I worked at an insanely busy steakhouse that claimed to make their own BBQ sauce. It was literally just heating up Open pit and mixing it with liquid smoke 😂

Hot sauce at a pizza place I worked at was just Frank's red hot with pepper, crushed red pepper, garlic, and an herb that might have been oregano but I don't remember clearly. Really improved it though.

That reminds me of a story, in second grade me and a few kids somehow got interested in making peanut butter. We all went home made the best peanut butter we could, bring it to school to determine a winner. This guy wins and I’m talking to him asking how he made it. And he’s like “oh yeah it’s mostly jif” like goddamnit man that doesn’t count lol

I had to pause the video and go check that it was 451. Kevin is THAT convincing.

Castle Cone was a better name, imo.

Yeah, I think I agree. While it's hardly a revolutionary idea, it's not exactly a terrible idea. It's "a sort of weirdly-shaped sandwich", so it's kind of odd that it was an outright failure. I could see a food cart selling them and being somewhat successful.

If you're eating from the top, I could see these being actually kind of nice. With just one hand, it seems like a nice way to keep all the filling *in* the sandwich

The problem for me is that the cone-shape makes the filling unevenly distributed: you'll start with only eating salad and end with only eating bread. But you can probably alleviate that problem with different cone-shapes or different layers of filling. I agree that it could be a minor hit as a fun novelty food, without all that "future of food" nonsense

There's really good gluten free mixes that allow you to bake pretty much anything! If they're available (and not too pricy) in the US, look for Schar's Bread Mix Flour (I think it's mix B - mix A being all-purpose and mix C being for cakes/sweet stuff that don't need to rise). I've had to eat gluten free since I was a kid and they've really improved *so much* these last 20 or so years! :D and the website has basic recipes for pretty much anything. I can confirm white bread takes like 2 hours to make and ends up d e l i c i o u s for GF standards. Good luck! ^^

@@commandrogyne Indeed. I think it’s pretty in the spirit of the Handwich to reinvent something that already exists, and make it slightly dumber.

Honestly, the fillings that are akin to something you'd put in a regular sandwich sound like a great idea. I don't think I'd want to eat fruit salad or Cobb salad out of a bread cone, though. That does sound good, and the Cobb salad seems like it would fall apart as you eat it because it doesn't have anything to stick it together.
