Leave my !&$*@*# breakfast alone!
April 7, 2020 at 8:15 am
I grabbed the bacon out of the fridge this morning and realized to my horror that they had changed the long familiar single serving pack of bacon to a half serving. (1/2 a pound)
Bastards...
What next? Are they going to quit selling chicken eggs and force me to scramble hummingbird eggs?
It did make me wonder though - is it different in the metric world? Is a single serving of bacon 2.2 pounds? (1 kilo). That could be enough to get a guy to think about moving.....

I buy the Mega pack, 22 oz. But I see lots of 16 oz. packages.

I recall throwing a medium-sized fit when a bag of sugar went from 5lbs to 4lbs.

Single serving of bacon = 1 kilo?

Many packages of bacon shrunk to 12 oz. some time ago. The packaging didn't change but the contents did.
That sugar thing pissed me off too. Less sugar, same price...@

She is. But her attempts to do so are not conspicuous by their success.
But I do a great deal of baking, so sugar is a necessity.

~Half of the weight of bacon is water the bastards inject into it, pools of white shit form as soon as it hits the hot pan.
Miserable Bastard.
