Some credit needs to be given to Blondie creator Chic Young, my brother would make what he called ‘Dagwood sandwiches' which were carefully constructed, huge and amazing!

Back during the college (and punk) days, maximizing calories was task #1. Nothing else mattered nearly as much as stretching my dollar for the highest amount of food, so this clearly would have appealed to 19 or 25 year old me.

I certainly see the appeal to nostalgia.

There's also an awesome "I shouldn't be doing this" thing that I started noticing during my early 30s that I really enjoyed, so I'm sure these things will continue to be popular, and I'm sure I won't want any of them.
