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

    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

          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.

      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.
