I'm going to totally divert from Real Estate for the moment as I want to talk about Bacon as odd as that may sound. I like Bacon and I tend to eat a couple pieces at least 2-3 times a week.  My store, Ingles Cashiers, NC,  carries 5-6 brands and different flavors.  Prices can vary from 3.99 a pack to 6.98 pack.  I have tried several of these brands and in the end, i have found that the most expensive brand Oscar Myer, is my favorite. It has the better taste, it peals out of the package the easiest, it cooks the easiest etc. This is all very interesting to me because I'm not sure why it does all these things better.

I tend to cook all my bacon in the microwave.  I get a paper plate, put down some paper towel, lay the bacon down, cover it with paper towel, and then cook it.  It cooks up very easily and comes off the paper towel without any problem.  The same can't be said for the other Bacon companies. I have noticed that some of the other brands have difficulties. The bacon tends to not peel away from the other piece with ease, some tend to cook way down, or it sticks to the paper towel.  The sticking to the paper towel is my biggest pet peeve. The most expensive brand never sticks to the paper towel but the cheaper brands usually do.

This got me to thinking, why does this happen?  Does the more expensive brand add some type of coating that is not added to the cheaper brands. So now, i'm going to do a little more research and start reading the back labels of the different brands to see what I can see that might be obviously different.  I will keep you posted in a follow up blog.
