Tactical bacon in a can

15 December 2010, 05:37


So a while ago, the very awesome Yas gave me a bag filled with goodies for my b’day. Yes my b’day was a while ago I know but it was only this week that I was having a crazy case of the munchies and wanted something savoury and could only find chocolate and more chocolate in the house which meant… TIME TO CRACK OPEN THE CAN OF BACON! edit: i haz yet to try the bacon beans but zomg the bacon mints are pretty gross ahahahaha minty but with an aftertaste of smoky bacon!


Instructions for can of bacon: Open can, receive bacon! Aye aye captain! Instructions that everyone can follow!


When I opening the lid I was not prepared to see white stuff on the top and nearly freaked out till I realised it was just the paper the bacon was wrapped in haha also, the smell of bacon is quite disconcerting as I automatically associate bacon with the sounds of oil splattering so woot no mess to clean! And somehow they managed to fit 54 slices of bacon in there.


AHAHA roll of bacon in the shape of da can! Dare I eat? All sources say it’s totally safe and blessed with the magic of preservatives to last over 10 years in the can though you gotta refrigerate the bacon after opening.


Unfurling the wad of paper to reveal strips of almost neon pink bacon. See that white stuff in the middle? THAT’S SALT BABY YEAH. So how was it? Did it taste like bacon? Well yes. Smokey bacon. Obviously not crispy bacon. But bacon that’s been so overloaded in salt my tastebuds were immediately crying out for some sort of beverage. The back of the can said serving size was 3 slices but it was so salty that I could only make it thru 1 slice lol but it was definitely interesting to taste and I guess if I was hiding out from the inevitable zombie apocalypse I would take along the can of bacon to even out my tuna rations.

 

 

  1. Oh wow that looks like a stroke and a heart attack waiting to happen. Would it be ok to use in a recipe though?

  3. Who thinks of these things!! That is just too bizarre, and salty!

    Great story though, amazing :) Good thing you didn’t go for the three peices as recommended ;)

  5. OMG.

  6. Each can of those should come with a free angioplasty – seriously, what percentage of the ingredients is actually bacon?

    And that machine gun logo clearly adds to the enticement factor. Eep.

  10. Hehe bacon.

    I was the kris kringle culprit ;p I want to know where Yas got the lolly pop from, Think Geek would not ship them out of the USA :( We also got some of the cupcake mints, they are quite yummy.

  11. 54 slices of bacon? that’s a tactical onslaught!

    i reckon they need to be paired up with some caramel or chocolate. oh yeah, baby

  12. I second Helen. But for the most part, I wanna chop these babies up and cook it with cream, pasta and mushrooms for the ultimate cheap-sex, quick-n-dirty meal. Oh yeah…

  13. YOu’re such a trooper! Must say, though, even with my normal bacon-ambivalence I’d prefer this to the can of baby whale meat my brother’s Japanese ex-girlfriend gave my family once… :/

  14. you wanna hope those zombies dont turn up anytime soon, because you’ll be fresh out of bacon!!

  15. What awesome presents! Kind of sad to hear the tactical bacon was so salty, because that’s exactly the kind of thing I’d want to hunt down and buy.

  16. Whoa that’s a lotta salt! I guess they’re the magic preservatives =P I am curious about that gummi bacon packet you’ve got there though…

  17. Hmmm…sounds a bit weird. But you could take it to the moon with you, so I guess it’s not all bad.

  18. neon pink – the exact words I want to hear when describing bacon mmmmm

  19. THE BACON BEANS! I second what Marj^ said above – eat with caution.

    — Sarah    Dec 16, 11:41 AM    #

  20. Ewwwwwwwww hahahahahahahaha!!!
    Still, I’d give it a try ; )

  21. haha! not sure about the bacon but the can design is fantastic!!

    — Fitters    Dec 16, 02:44 PM    #

  22. The bacon in a can looks unreal. Why is there an AK47 on the label? Was it used to kill the piggies, or do you need it to blow away the salt?? So much mystery!

    — OohLookBel    Dec 17, 12:19 AM    #

  23. That is the strangest thing I have ever seen come out of a can! LOL :)

  24. The cupcake mints sound like they would be addictive :P

    Was the bacon dry like beef jerky? haha I guess you dice it and toss it into salad :)

  25. Wow that bacon in a can looks surprisingly appetising! RECEIVE BACON! :)

  26. Omgggggggg.
    THAT IS AMAZINGLY AWESOME. And yes, it would be perfect for the zombie apocalypse !!! /stores info in brain/ ! but omggg, 54 slices !?!? That is pretty awesome. And mm, I kind of want to eat bacon now. With Salt. mmmmm

  27. Thank you for satisfying my curiosity of canned bacon!!

    — Stella    Dec 19, 05:13 AM    #

  28. Ha ha ha ha- I didn’t even know such a thing existed- cannot believe they fitted the 54 slices in there- it’s almost so wrong it’s right… !

    — Gastronomy Gal    Dec 19, 12:45 PM    #

  29. zomg I’m surprised they could fit that many slices of bacon in there. Amazing!

    — Karen missklicious    Dec 20, 09:01 PM    #

    — sugarpuffi    Dec 20, 09:26 PM    #
