In Bacon We Trust
The other day I journeyed to the local fossil fuel dispensary facility to replenish the man van’s tank. While perusing the aisles inside for a little fuel of my own, I came across what I can only describe now as proof of the existence of a higher being. That being is Uncle Buck.
Not the brilliantly crafted character created by rotund 80’s comedy icon John Candy. No, the Uncle Buck of which I speak is the delightfully campy purveyor of tasty down home treats at your local Bass Pro Shop. Don’t have a local Bass Pro Shop? Be jealous, be very jealous.
Uncle Buck in his infinite and divinely inspired wisdom has once again created shear perfection for the bagged food market that predominantly occupies a top spot in my diet. Plus, he’s had the vision to mass produce it and make it available in venues beyond the glorious doors of the BPS.
What is this meaty ambrosia of which I speak you ask? Wait for it……Bacon Jerky! From the aroma that wafts from the bag upon first opening to the licking of remnants from my chubby fingers after the last bite, this delicacy is pure heaven and worth the massive coronary it will no doubt induce after years of over indulgence. I salute a true American hero and fictionalized marketing character, thank you Uncle Buck, thank you.
