‘Lifetime supply of bacon’ advertised on Gumtree…mmmm bacon
Metro [UK] ^ | 10 Nov 2014 | Matt Payton

A lot of interesting things are advertised on Gumtree – from an entire flat of furniture to in-home yoga lessons.

However, this person has listed a product priceless in the eyes of many a meat eater.

They have offered a lifetime supply of bacon. The seller claims it’s free. But nothing in this world is ever free.

Here is the full description from the Hampshire-based vendor of pork:

‘I have the life time supply of bacon, I’m desperate to get rid because I need to shed a few piggies.

‘I know it says it’s free however I would like something in return. ;) (The wink gives it away).’

Sounds like he's offering pork for pork.

Obligatory “I got some bacon for my wife... best trade I ever made” comment.

A lifetime supply of bacon, you say?

I think I'll pass.

I had trouble choking down my cholesterol pills,
until I started wrapping them in bacon.
Now I have Glade “Frying Bacon” air fresheners, and every room smells like salty, chewy pig jerky, AKA as “bacon’.

Who ever heard of such a thing.

I think they were making it up.

Probably due to some EU rule he may not be able to sell directly to the consumer hence the wink! I have heard people getting around stupid legislation by forming a club - you pay a joining fee and the meat or whatever is free!
