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.
To all who are offended by this new addition to the world of jerky offerings:
If you are repulsed by the packaging: Needless waste, totally agree, I'm right there with you.
If you are repulsed by the contents: More for me.
Put like at least 5 of them in a bag that is appropriately sized and appropriately priced and I'm all over this shit. Until then, this is the most worthless addition to the world of jerky I have seen and as a jerky lover I take personal offence. Then again, I get offended by lots of piss-poor jerky products.

There are TWO of us now!
But yeah, I do love some good jerky. I used to make it, it's fun to do as long as you carefully adhere to food safety rules. Anymore it's a very limited thing for me for health reasons but a well-made bit of jerky is an awesome thing.
I haven't tried this bacon yet, but if it's a bacon/brown sugar thing I likely will, the sum being greater than the parts. But the bacon premise is iffy, depending on whether they are cooking this and/or how much fat they're leaving on it, because you're eating it room temp. Room temp bacon grease, while still delicious in flavor, is still just a lump of grainy lukewarm grease in the mouth if there's too much of it.
Could be great, could be ass. I guess we'll see.
Bet they're like $10.99 too
Fedia isn't showing me the picture, but if this is candied bacon, it's super delicious, and I could totally see it sold like that.
I guess it's a great marketing gimmick to hook people who have more money than sense lol I'm pretty sure buying a pound of bacon at the store would use a lot less plastic and cost much less though
The bacon at the store means you need to buy the whole pack, cook it yourself, clean up. This is a precooked on the go snack like beef jerky.
Paying a premium per slice for the convenience of the snack.
There are plenty of more convenient snacks that are much less ridiculous
I don't see how this is much more ridiculous than peperoni sticks or beef jerky
These seem flavored, hence 'candy'
Somehow that makes it seem even less worth getting lol
Ate honey with beef bacon before and it was pretty good
Next time you fry up some bacon, put just a little bit of brown sugar on it. Doesn't take much. I rarely make it because I wouldn't be able to control myself if I didn't limit it to special occasions.
I have a friend who makes sweetened bacon. It is delicious, but that’s the only way I’d eat it. Not this garbage.
Yeah homemade candied bacon is amazing.
We deserve everything that’s coming for us this century
You might could even post this in Mildly Infuriating as all that packaging is just gonna go in a dump somewhere or end up in the ocean.
Dumb idea...start mailing all the garbage back to the companies that produce it. Attention of the CEO. I'd love to see thousands upon thousands of packages flood companies with the garbage they make.
But then you end up making more garbage by using packaging to mail the packaging.
Gross. We have to get over this ‘convenience’ packaging of stupid food items in plastic. Just like the peeled fruit in plastic wrap, this is straight up harmful.
Hold on, peeled fruit in plastic? Nobody would be that stup...
Ohhh sorry, yeah
As you were
Sure, if by "get over" you mean support legislation to heavily regulate the use of plastic packaging. Otherwise, it doesn't matter what we do, as long as it's more cost effective to continue to use plastic, companies will.
Fuck this.
Meat Candy would be a sweet strip club name.
Going to meet Candy at Meat Candy
.....fuck it....I'm in
