Manwich
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manwich is the brand name of a canned sloppy joe sauce produced by ConAgra Foods, Inc. and Hunt's introduced in 1969. The can contains seasoned tomato sauce that is added to cooked ground beef in a skillet. It is marketed as a quick and easy one-pan meal for the whole family.
Manwich Heat & Serve was introduced in 2004. It contains both the seasoned tomato sauce and ground beef in a microwavable bowl. The concept is similar to Easy Mac.
The phrase most commonly associated with this product is: "A sandwich is a sandwich, but a Manwich is a meal."
[edit] Jingle
A modern commercial uses the jingle,
"Momma don't ya make me another meatloaf,
forget the Mac 'n' Cheese.
I want some fun piled on a bun,
I want a Manwich please."
