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

    How many Americans would eat all 5 in one sitting, though? If you put 5 in one pouch, maybe you should paper-wrap each slice to slow people down. Or at least put a note on the label :

    110 calories per slice

    550 CALORIES IN PACKAGE.

    Or would that just normalize the concept of eating it all?

      If I cook a pack of bacon there is never any left, even when they were 500g and not this pathetic 375g where they probably include the packing in the weight

      Also am Canadian

    • I actually found a thing of bacon jerky in the convenience store I normally stop at for some Jack’s Links. I think the bag was like $10, but it was only 340 calories. Bought it out of curiosity, downed the whole thing and then fell asleep. It was pretty decent.

      • As I stated in another comment, I didn’t bother to check the nutritional information and didn’t really care at the time. I think it was Jack Link’s brand or similar, so you can look it up yourself, I might snatch the bag out of my office trash bin and check later, probably high in sodium and sugars or something.
