Why aren't there 'beggin' strips' for humans yet???

Reader mine, have you ever tried a beggin' strip? I admit I took a bit out of one to see if it indeed tastes like bacon and it tastes EXACTLY like bacon, but with that awful dog food after taste. We have fake onion rings called Funions, we have fake Andy Capp french fries, why has no snack company made fake bacon strips out of corn or whatever using the same flavoring they put in beggin strips?

Actually I think I had some kind of Bacon Jerky once and it was AWFUL. It was so salty.

It's called bacon, perhaps it hasn't caught on in your part of the country?

In all seriousness, if you want fake bacon just put fist-fulls of baco' bits in your mouth or something; it'll provide you as much joy.

I love these forums.

I googled it and found http://baconbakin.com/baconcamp/ and guess what they are up in san fransico, bacon treats for all!

It sounds like you want a much bigger Bac-O.

Slim Jims are pretty much Beggin Strips for humans...and I say that as someone who ate a LOT of them...

This is such a great question. I'm sure they could make some sort of bacon combos or something.

You can buy pre-cooked bacon in the deli section of most supermarkets now, which is probably as close as you're going to get.

at first i thought you meant creating a long street specially made for beggars where they can beg for shit and was gonna call you a socialist pig

but i'm a vegetarian so i'm down with this idea

I'll just leave this right here for anyone who thinks everything should taste like bacon: http://www.baconsalt.com/

I think that's what this topic should be about.

Wouldn't gathering the homeless populous and relegating them to a specific location wherein they can be more easily ignored be antithetical to socialism?

Has no one made bacon flavored potato chips?

i was thinking that we'd create a street specifically designed for that purpose which would presumably come out of the taxpayer's pocket, and then there'd be a mandate that joe pedestrian use that street and humor the beggars

I have a box of them in the back. Should I try one?

Hmm, interesting. I had imagined that they'd just be put on a desolate street, and it's up to the average citizen on whether or not they want to check it out. There would, of course, be an electrified fence surrounding the perimeter (but it's okay, because it's only a slight tingling to the homeless, as they have thick calloused skin).

I'm sure one of your local vegetarian food stores (or Whole Foods) will have fake bacon. They do have fake Jerky and fake sausage so....

All this fanatical bacon love seemingly drummed up by the internet seems very passe.

Considering there have been so many different types of flavors for a variety of potato-chip brands, I'm sure bacon doesn't come up is because they tried it and results were awful. I don't think "good" or "acceptable" bacon taste is easy to pull off in a chip or other crunchy items.

Perhaps I can experiment with trying to compress facon-bits into strips. i'll be in my lab.

BTW if I made a product like that I would call if Facon.

Well something has to fill the void left by all those Chuck Norris joke abominations or the internet would literally collapse in on itself.

@Levio: I think grumpy cat has filled that void.

Thanks! Now I know. And knowing's half the battle.

Slim Jims.

Beggin Strips...best S&M club you'll ever go to...

Just eat Beggin' Strips, man.

You guys know Best of Craigslist?

We need best of Giant Bomb. The dog food aftertaste comment cements this thread's place on the list should I ever get around to creating it.

I swear this seems like a thread someone would come up with in the middle of the ascent with some kooky weed. Or a weed cookie.
