Oops! You Got Your Lettuce in my Bacon Bag!
Fellow Bacon Freak, Brad England, sent me this horrifying message & picture via text message:
TEXT FROM BRAD: This photo was taken at 8:10 p.m. EDT at the Pompano Beach, FL, Costco Wholesale store. …I got to the end of the aisle that had spices and seasonings and noticed this bag on the end cap. It was not refrigerated.
ME: EW! Is it bacon or salad?
TEXT FROM BRAD: And I get what you’re saying now, it DOES look like a bag of salad! I didn’t notice until I looked at the picture again. Gross. That’s my opinion, anyway. 
ME: Gross is a gross understatement.
WHY would Costco do this to bacon? What did bacon do to tick Costco off? And WHY ISN’T IT REFRIGERATED? What kind of horrible chemicals and preservatives are keeping that bag’s ecosystem running? Do I need to get a documentary crew out there? I have so many questions…
I think we can all learn a lesson from this: Not all bacon is raised with love. A sad fact, but true. Make sure to hug your bacon today!

I’ve never been so confused, and hungry, at the same time… what a beautiful world of bacon we live in
Wait? So that’s a bacon salad? And why are they selling pre-cooked bacon in any form? If you’re too lazy to cook the bacon, you don’t need it. That pre-cooked stuff doesn’t even smell right anyway.
