Rubik’s Cube Sandwich (officially called Rubix Cubewich) is a brilliant invention.
Whoever created Rubix Cubewich) must be person with lots of love and passion for puzzles and food (just like me). Rubix Cubewich looks rather delicious with cubes of pastrami, kielbasa, pork fat, salami, and two types of cheddar. The presentation of it is great and just looks like the original Rubik’s Cube. The only puzzle here is how Rubix Cubewich will taste and how to eat it? Happy Puzzling! [via Makezine]
