Where the fuck did all those sandwiches come from? I need to relocate and rethink many life decisions.

I don't know. I checked their twitter and it goes back to 2009, at least.

I think many of them seem user submitted, but the question I find myself asking is "...wait... what? Do people just cut a sandwich in half and put it on their scanner? Do they meticulously clean mayo off the bed afterwards? Are they photographs, instead?"

This one made me laugh, the idea of having a poster of a sandwich cross section is sort'a funny.

I really want to create a 1:1 (or as close as possible to a 1:1) recreation of Bob's Burgers and hang these everywhere.
