This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

"Meat candy" does not sound very enticing, at least not to me.

Should be posted in midly infuriating.

This shit is as ridiculous as those small potatoes that are plastic wrapped for you to microwave at home. What a waste of goddamn plastic.

It's a better term for it than "Human Chew Snacks".

This is bacon abuse. Respect the bacon.

$25.99 + shipping for a box of 12 from their website.

"snack bacon" is $3 from Dunkin Donuts and is the same sugar crusted bacon

What a terrible price, why the fuck do people buy this shit and how is it even legal?

Gotta be 2x the weight in plastic vs bacon

Be a man and cook your bacon shirtless!

Looks like dog treats.

I never like when displays like this don't have a price anywhere. I bet that single slice of bacon costs almost as much as a whole big package of bacon from a grocery store.

As for calling it meat candy: Sounds good to me. You ever have candied ham? Shit's delicious. 🤤

Honestly though: How can covering food in liquid sugar result in something worse-tasting than the un-sugared food? :p

You're probably gonna wanna pick up a pack of that Charmin as well.

Idk, I'd love to get my mouth around a builder's meat candy

I wonder if posting a display of Slim Jim's would get the same weird vitriolic environmentalism. I'm not saying we shouldn't be better, but what I'm saying is single-use plastics for convenience jerky is not fucking original. Why is this the hill you guys are choosing to die on?

Uh, yeah. Nobody sane thinks single serve plastic packaging is good.

Who are you responding to? I already conceded this point.

You wondered if a different, older product would get the same comments and I answered you (yes). What's the difficulty here?
