Whenever I open a new sleeve of bacon I ask myself what deranged person came up with this stunningly stupid packaging. Never mind the use of plastic — I’ve pretty much given up on that battle for good, but… you have to use MOAR plastic in form of a ziplock bag so the bacon doesn’t get all icky.
I get that part of it is to show only the meaty parts & hide the ‘unsightly’ fat parts (even tho both are what makes bacon delicious), but… how is it that nobody to date has come up wtih a smarter, more intuitive packaging?
And if there’s more annoying packaging for a food item around, please enlighten me.
You don’t mention if you’re partial to a certain brand of bacon, but Wright brand thick cut bacon comes in resealable packages. Usually 1 1/2-2 lbs which is way too much for us. And looks too fatty to me. I buy GV at WM - 1 lb. I can see the deceptive front and realistic back. Cut it open and wrap in plastic wrap until gone. No way around it. 4 days tops. I’ve tried freezing cooked bacon but it just doesn’t taste as good as same day fried to me. Maybe there’s a certain trick to it I don’t know.
