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.

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

I see it ridiculous when compared to products like Tactical Bacon or the Jack's Links bacon jerky which are probably cheaper (though there's no price on these shown so that's just a guess) and have more than 1 slice of bacon in the package. They are also ready to eat straight from the can or bag.

Edit: a 12 pack of these individual things is $26. You get about that much in a single bag of Jack Links for $3. Tactical Bacon no longer is sold, so it's expensive AF on ebay now. 😵‍💫
