Buying Bacon

Cagey Productions—Dave Barber Cinematheque

Ken Gordon and John Bent Jr. play Nick and Chuck who are sitting at their kitchen table hosting their Happy Hour Shenanigans YouTube show. They just talk about various topics with some slides and videos to help visualize things.

The first topic was how lack of math skills is allowing corporations to short change us through Shrinkflation and Skimpflation. It was a somewhat disheartening feeling when they start to show the math and unit pricing, especially seeing the huge increase in price for the title product Bacon. Being of about the same vintage as those two gentlemen, I found myself thinking “I hope they show Chunky Soup” and it was on the list. As was Cadbury Easter Creme Eggs.

The final topic was the unusual sport of “Ferret Legging”. The key to success in the sport is to keep the Ferrets well fed, though I am sure you want to feed them a sausage free diet.

All in all, it was a funny and informative visit with them.
