"DOGS AND USENET READERS DON'T KNOW IT'S NOT BACON!" So I take it you haven't tried Keebler Bacon-Frosted Bacon(TM) yet. I feel that although the cardboard does pass as extremely stale yet undercooked bacon (really underraw bacon, or possibly underarm bacon) the brown aquarium gravel does not even approach the quality of the completely real bacon they use in Bac*Os. However, as the box indicates, it *is* made WITH real bacon: INGREDIENTS: Water, Emulsifiers (Cellulose Gel, Guar Gum, Carageenan, Hydrogenated Methylcellulse, Wood Pulp, Sawdust, Trees Chunked & Formed), Textured Vegetable Protein (Bumpy Kelp, Squiggly Crabgrass, Tofu That Fell Onto A Shag Rug), Animal And/Or Vegetable Shortening (It's Always Lard), Natural Flavors (Uranium Hexafluoride, Strontium 90, Modified Asbestos), Natural Colors (Green 2000, Gray 8000, Cloudy 9000), Preservatives (Calcium Disodium MTBA, BHA & BUAF, Polysorbate 76), Other (Modified Rat), Bacon (Deposited By Electroplating.) The "DOGS DON'T KNOW IT'S NOT BACON -- BECAUSE THEY'RE STUPID!" ad campaign is a wonderful idea, and I wish I had thought of it. They could do so much more with it. Like: "WEBTV -- DOGS DON'T KNOW IT'S NOT A COMPUTER!" "HEXADECIMAL -- DOGS DON'T KNOW IT'S NOT DECIMAL!" "RANCID -- DOGS DON'T KNOW IT'S RANCID!" -- K. Of course, in the seventies, they marketed "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S DOG FOOD!" in Russia.
