Can you imagine a world without sandwiches? There’s no way. Society would crumble. Sticking meat and cheese between two slices of bread is easily a Top 5 greatest invention of all time, right up there with the wheel, matches, running water, and Pornhub.

We’re all indebted to this man’s vices for changing the snack/eating game forever.
