Man Pays For Cross-Country Trip Using Bacon As Currency 176
An anonymous reader writes in with a story about the power of bacon."Travel can be expensive. One man is using a unique way to pay for a trip as a challenge. Pennsylvania comedian Josh Sankey is on a mission to make a cross-country road trip from New York to Los Angeles with no other currency but bacon. Sankey isn't carrying any cash or credit cards as he makes his cross-country trip. He is paying for everything from gas to lodging by using uncooked bacon as currency. He set off on his trip with 3,000 pounds of the popular meat and he seems to be getting good deals with it so far."

Wright brand Steak Cut Bacon [wrightbrand.com]. These incredible slabs of savory pork come six slices to the 20oz package, and are perfect for slow grilling. Bacon so thick that if you want, you can have it crispy on one side, and chewy on the other.
No, I don't work for the company.

Christians in Iran right now are definitely desperate, but for safety, not bacon.

No, I'm not saying PETA is right - I'm just saying that for every time PETA has lied to me, so has a corrupt politician.
PETA is a terrorist organisation, members of whom have made credible death threats to close friends of mine because PETA disagreed with the morality of the animal research that my friends where doing.
I do hold PETA activists in far lower esteem than I do your average corrupt politician, because the majority of them are dangerous lunatics.

That's why it's called back bacon [wikipedia.org]. It's only called "Canadian bacon" in places other than Canada.
If it were me, I'd trade regular bacon : back bacon at a 2 : 1 ratio or more.
