Squeez Bacon

Holy Eff!
What are the Swedes thinking?
When I think Sweden, I think "Ikea", "Meatballs", the freakin' "Nobel Prize", and naturally "The Swedish Bikini Team".

They are also credited with inventing one of the most important products for food service, the Tetra Pak...
So how could they fall so off course and create what has to be one of the most foul food inventions EVER?!!!!






















It's first of all, bacon flavored paste. You can't even say it's a puree. That would be giving it too much credit. The concoction is forced through a nozzle giving its shape. Secondly, it's freakin' shelf stable. So what on God's Green Earth is in that squeeze bottle?

Product Features

  • Each tube contains 21oz (595g) of Squeez Bacon®.
  • 16 servings - equivalent to 64 slices of bacon!
  • Bottled in Sweden, made from U.S. bred swine.
  • Shelf Life of 12 years.
  • No refrigeration needed.
  • Jätte gott!
Yah, you read that correct, 12 years shelf stable... I don't even know what to say after that. That's 3 different World Cups my friends. I can't even tell you who hosted the World Cup prior to Japan/Korea in 2002. Was it France?
Then to pour salt on the wound, in the picture below, what's going through their marketing department's head when they decide to garnish "Squeez Bacon" over Sushi, Cantalopes, and real Bacon? Really?
And finally... Is it me, or did they rip off the slogan, "It's better with Cheese"? And swapped "cheese" with "squeez bacon"?
