CLAIM:

The cooking instructions on a bacon package advised consumers to
"contact your elected officials and complain" if they "don't know how
to cook bacon."

but I fat fingered it)

Snopes rating TRUE - it really exists.

Origin: In August 2018, Facebook users began encountering a post showing
some seemingly unusual cooking instructions printed on back of a package
of bacon.

Following some routine wording about pan frying the bacon to "desired crispness," the directions went on to admonish consumers that "If you
really don't know how to cook bacon, please contact your elected
officials and complain about our education system. Every American
should know how to cook bacon ... Seriously"

The packaging originated with Black River Meats of North Springfield,
Vermont, to whom we reached out to verify that this photograph did
indeed capture a regularly sold product of theirs ... and to inquire
about what prompted the unorthodox labeling.

Sean Buchanan, VP of Sales and Marketing, confirmed to us that this was
indeed a photograph of a Black River brand bacon product. When we asked
if the label was merely offered to be amusing or was meant as a somewhat sardonic jab at the American educational system, Buchanan responded that
it was intended to be a mixture of humor and seriousness, because what's
the world coming to if people don't know how to cook something as simple
as bacon? (All the more so because this particular bacon product is
packaged fully cooked.)

But Buchanan also noted that many consumers have a heightened awareness
of, and interest in, food-related issues these days, and he felt the
company could better promote food safety awareness if they could get
people to "step back and relax a little" by leavening their packaging
with some humor to break the tension.
