American man teams up with Indian Facebook friend to create an ‘Earth Sandwich’
Mastermind of the operation, Lee St John, says he's planning to meet his Indian counterpart so they can grab a real sandwich together
A PAIR of ingenious Facebook friends from opposite sides of the world have used wit and two slices of bread to turn planet Earth into a sandwich.
Lee St John from Minnesota, in the US, and Subash Luitel from Delhi, India, teamed up to make the ultimate culinary creation.
Mastermind of the operation Lee, a 34-year-old theatre worker, sparked an online conversation with savvy Subash after reaching out to friends on social media about his plans.
The pair discussed logistics on Facebook messenger before taking pictures of themselves posing with a slice of bread on the floor outside their homes, effectively sandwiching the Earth in between.
Lee posted on social media: "Four hours ago, I had a dream. That dream was to make a sandwich out of the entire Earth. Tonight, my dream comes true."
Neither of them knew the stunt would become an instant internet sensation. According to Lee, the Earth Sandwich has more than 1 million shares across social media.
