Got bacon?
There’s bacon and then there’s bacon. This bacon should get you through to the apocalypse. It’s called Tactical Bacon (smoke flavor added!) and it’s 54 strips of ready-to-eat bacon in a can, which sells for $15.99. That might sound like a lot of dough for 9 ounces of bacon, but here’s the rub: Tactical Bacon has a 10-year shelf life. So it’s perfect for your underground doomsday bunker, after the zombies have eaten all of the actual pigs. Just think of it: You can eat this bacon in the year 2019! A word of warning though: Once opened, the bacon must be eaten or refrigerated. So, you’ll need to snarf up all 54 pieces of bacon— or, perhaps, host a Tactical Bacon party. You can purchase Tactical Bacon, along with all sorts of snazzy firearms, at cmmginc.secure-mall.com
