Regarding Smoky Links

Thank you Jason Groth (and Cher from Bettendorf?), for sharing this:

Canned corn beef shortage ends

Q: Can you find the reason stores no longer stock canned corned beef? There’s the hash but nothing else. Also, why Oscar Mayer doesn’t produce Smoky Links anymore. There are cocktail size, but that’s it.
— Cher, Bettendorf
A: Ruth Comer, spokeswoman for Hy-Vee Foods, said their stores now are carrying canned corned beef after about a year without it. Last May, she said there was a nationwide shortage “so the product was out of stock most of the time.”
“Now, production is back up to normal and warehouses are stocked. If you can’t find it in a store, you can ask them to order it because our warehouses have them,” she said.
The shortage was due to a recall of some canned corned beef produced in Brazil. She said some corned beef was tested, and it was determined some contained a drug used to treat cows for parasites. The U.S. Food, Safety and Inspection Services halted all imports of canned corned beef into this country from Brazil until recently.
Regarding Smoky Links, Joyce Hodyl, corporate spokeswoman for Kraft Foods, which owns Oscar Mayer, said: “We had a loyal following for the product, but not enough to sustain production of them.”

Well, we failed on that front. But viva la canned corn beef!

THIS IS MY POINT

Crazy Alcohol Rainbow Pig


Awesome things about this video:
1. Four Loko is described as "alcoholic unicorn blood"
2. It is about chili
3. "Bacon's on sale, so we get it all"
4. "Someone's gonna die tonight eating chili"
5. The use of Ms. Vicki's Jalapeno Chips
6. BACON TROUGH
7. "Dominant species mixes inferior species in a pot... to eat"
8. A BACON CUP that incorporates basketweaving techniques. Only it's baconweaving.
9. Fries and cheese. Mountains of chili. Deep-fried Jalapeno chip-coated cheesesticks OH MY GOD
10. "Drizzle some Four Loko into the orifices"
11. BACON CUP OF FOUR LOKO
12. He eats it with a paddle
13. "Tastes like crazy alcohol rainbow pig"
Eat Me hands over the reins to Epic Meal Time. Sigh.
