P.T. Barnum's favorite bacon
« Reply #-1 on: July 22, 2016, 09:38:52 PM »
I’m excited! I just saw in the Food Section of the local paper that we can now make our own bacon with The Original Baconkit! For only $19.99 we can get a kit that has “everything you need to make 5 lbs of delicious homemade bacon.”

The Original Baconkit includes (parentheses mine):

     Curing Bag (plastic bag with a cool logo – supply your own twist tie)
     Pink Curing Salt (in a cute little bottle with some other stuff)
     Premium Maple Sugar (in a cute, slightly larger bottle)
     Thermometer (one of those pop-up ones you always rip out of turkeys)
     Instruction Kit (with pictures and large print)

Oh, I almost forgot … “The only fresh ingredient you need to purchase is pork belly.”

WHAT? They want $19.99 for about $2 worth of stuff (max) and I still have to buy belly? Really? I don't think I even know anybody who knows anybody who's that stupid.

Uhh, maybe I’m not excited any more. Maybe I’m just really upset that I didn’t figure out how to sell that concept before they did.

I'm thinking this is brought to you by the good folks who, fortunately for some, introduced us to pet rocks! ;)

I could hook you up for TWO kits for 19.99. Of course you will have to pay separate shipping and handling on the second kit! ;)
