Friend Won’t Shut Up About Recloseable Bacon
When Republic of Bacon resident Tony Ponzo introduced Maple Leaf’s recloseable bacon to his best friend and neighbour Jared Applebaum, he didn’t give it much thought. But what seemed like a regular gesture quickly turned into a regretful one.

“Jared tries to reach me maybe a hundred times a day to thank me, and to tell me how much he loves his new-found bacon,” claimed Mr. Ponzo with a hint of exaggeration. “I get it. He loves it. It’s just out of control.”
But he was not exaggerating. In the span of forty minutes, Mr. Applebaum interrupted the interview with six phone calls, five voicemail messages, eight text messages, four emails, a knock on the window (where we hid from view), one fax, five doorbell rings, and a megaphone shout-out accompanied by a marching band.
“I haven’t slept in days,” admitted a defeated Tony.
We can all learn a valuable lesson from this outcome. If you’re going to tell your bacon fanatic friend about recloseable bacon, make sure he lives on the opposite end of the country.
Dear Bobby,

Dear Shy Guy,
Talk about bacon. This will open the airwaves to other topics like football, action movies, plasma televisions, video games and sports cars.
