In what’s being called “the greatest culinary scam of the decade,” a Florida man has gone viral for selling thousands of completely invisible sandwiches — for $5.99 each.
Larry “Lunchtime” Donahue, a 42-year-old self-proclaimed food entrepreneur, set up a folding table outside a gas station in Tampa with a handwritten sign that read:
“INVISIBLE SANDWICHES – GLUTEN-FREE & IMAGINATION-FED.”
By 4:00 p.m., he had sold out — despite never once handing a customer anything visible.
“It was so light and airy,” said one satisfied customer, 19-year-old TikTok user @SnackQueen27. “Honestly? 10/10. I felt… spiritually full.”
Donahue claims the sandwich is made with “non-existent bread, fictional meats, and toppings harvested from the Garden of Possibility.”
When asked for details about his recipe, Donahue simply stared into the distance and whispered, “You have to believe to taste.”
Local authorities were called after a small group of skeptics attempted to storm the sandwich table. However, officers found no evidence of fraud.
“Technically, he gave them exactly what he advertised: nothing,” said Officer Ramon Diaz. “No crime in that.”
Donahue has now launched a website, EatImaginary.com, and is offering pre-orders for his next innovation: transparent tacos.
