“Meat candy” does not sound very enticing, at least not to me.
Idk, I’d love to get my mouth around a builder’s meat candy
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.
Yeah I have no idea why people are missing this part. They are ok with beef jerky being sold as an on the go snack, but not this? It’s the same thing.
Yes, I get it. The plastic is wasteful…but it’s wasteful for any other single serving snack item you’re buying anyway. I’m not sure of a good solution to the problem…but having an issue with this but not literally every other single serving snack food is just beyond confusing to me.
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
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.
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.
You’re probably gonna wanna pick up a pack of that Charmin as well.
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 ok guys, it’s BPA free.
Meat Candy would be a sweet strip club name.
Going to meet Candy at Meat Candy
…fuck it…I’m in
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.
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.
That’s exactly what I mean. The problem obviously won’t solve itself, enforcement will be required.
Hear hear!
Rabble rabble rabble!
Hold on, peeled fruit in plastic? Nobody would be that stup…
Ohhh sorry, yeah
As you were
Nobody would be that stup…
I get the joke but it’s mostly people without the hand strength or dexterity to peel the fruit that get them.
At least that’s the only people ive ever seen or heard of getting them. Most people who willingly eat fresh fruit also like to peel it themselves for that freshness
Fuck this.
It’s a better term for it than “Human Chew Snacks”.
This is bacon abuse. Respect the bacon.
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 think most of the problem is that the individual plastic wrapper is about 3 times the size of the bacon.
$25.99 + shipping for a box of 12 from their website.
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
Toxic masculinity is one hell of an economic driver
Be a man and cook your bacon shirtless!
Let’s work against em!
“snack bacon” is $3 from Dunkin Donuts and is the same sugar crusted bacon
Looks like dog treats.
