Holy Pork Rinds
Filed under: Vexed - March 18, 2008 @ 1:00 pmMy mom has been eating a lot of pork rinds lately. Mmm, flayed pig skin seasoned with smoke flavoring.
Here’s the wrapper of a bag she just finished, note the happy pig wearing the chef hat:
Here’s the other side:
A closer look:
I like how this company profits off the mass slaughter and mutilation of pigs so people can snack on their blistered skin, yet they use this bible quote to sneak in some proselytizing. I wonder how much God loves slaughterhouses.

I’m pretty sure God is cool with it or (s)he wouldn’t seen fit to give someone the inspiration to combine chocolate and bacon together in a gourmet chocobar available at Whole Foods.

I’ve eaten some, it’s pretty good for the first few mouthfuls.

i’m sure it won’t be a surprise to you that i rather enjoy me some pork rinds, but it has to be in context.
work with me here… imagine driving around southern missouri dirt roads on a nice spring afternoon with the windows down, some skynard in the tape deck, and a cooler full of Stag beer. nothing goes better with Stag than pork rinds.
if your mom knows all the words to free bird and she understands the rules of ’shotgun’, tell her know i’ll be by to pick her up saturday.

For the record, I object to this Biblical misusage.

if ya’ll are tryin to get DEEP. here is what i truly think. The seller of the pork rinds feels, that basically god gave us earth, and on this earth their is this delicious animal we can enslave…..god’s gift is those pork rinds. and we can thank mother natures HUGE bosom for enough pork rinds to feed thousands of ghettos around the world. as far as i am concerned the pig represents jesus. and we eat his flesh as communion, in the form of a fried pork rind covered in hot sauce powder.
just for the record, i make a chocolate bar with bacon in it. This is my confession. maybe i should name it the jesus bar. and put a bible verse on it.

OR they are just suckering the pork rind loving christians out there, telling one more lie to steal a buck…..like a crackhead.

Brim’s (Old South) is a local company. They put biblical verses on all of their packaging. It’s their thing. I admit to liking their BBQ potato chips. For 99 cents, they’re pretty darn good.
But yeah, fried pork skins = twelve different kinds of gross.
