Correction to News of the Weird M384
Among the world's foods cited in a London Daily Mirror story mentioned in this space on August 17, 2014, was "Squeez Bacon," which was apparently an April Fool's joke from 2009 concocted by ThinkGeek.com. Yr Editor regrets the error that in the ensuing five-plus years, food science has been unable to create a real squeezed bacon. Very much regrets that.

Chuck -
There seems to be a slight problem - Your article "Among the foods “you wouldn’t even eat if trapped on a desert island” in a May London Daily Mirror feature" mentions among other things "Squeeze Bacon (in a plastic jar like ketchup, from Vilhelm Lilleflask of Sweden)". So did someone actually create "real squeeze Bacon" or is that a hoax, too? NO!
