Offbeat: When we say “10-year-old bacon in a can,” you say “yum,” right?

Our odd obsession with weird kinds of meat continues. This time, Gizmodo found this, uh, "gem." As bizarre as the idea of "tactical" bacon in a can is, it's not as weird as the fact that it stays good for ten years. The real question, though: Is it good for 36 years, like cake is?

Offbeat: The KFC Double Down: Did the cost of bread go up?

KFC Double Down
  • Chicken as buns. Why, KFC? Why? There’s nothing separating the KFC Double Down’s meat from your body. No extra layer of bread. No lettuce. No tomato. And the cheese and “Colonel’s Special Sauce” (the visual images that conjures up … shudder) only help you digest the chicken (the “buns”) and bacon faster. It’s an Atkins dieter’s dream food. To top it off, make sure you order it with a hearty glass of KFC Bacon Grease. source
