It was industrial meat. I normally get real smoked bacon and eschew the
prepackaged stuff that is pumped full of liquids and chemicals. That's
not as much a problem with back bacon because it is all brined.
Apparently the regular price of that stuff was $5.99 a pound, so 25
cents a pound was the deal of the century. I guess the idea of chipotle
flavoured back bacon did not appeal to shoppers, but it was delicious.
