There is almost no part of this candy I understand. First off, it has one of my favorite things to be confused about… The cartoon animal that’s encouraging you to eat him. Seen often on the front of barbecue restaurants, it also sometimes takes the form of cannibalism, i.e. a happy pig about to chow down on some ribs. Horrifying and gross.
Once you get beyond Uncle Oinker, you have to deal with the fact that this is bacon shaped gummi candy. Bacon, the most delicious thing on earth, and yet, it does not feel, or taste like bacon. That’s like promising you heaven, and then smacking you down to hell. And not only doesn’t it taste like bacon, it's Strawberry flavored! Which makes no sense.
I will say that I’ve had these, and if you close your eyes and don’t think about bacon, they’re totally fine strawberry gummi candy. It’s when you open your eyes, and see the bacon, that life just becomes that much sadder. Anyway, you should probably get a box, just to be hilarious and ruin your friend’s days.
