So pork has always been hard for me to cook. I just can’t ever seem to get it right. Therefore, I rely on an old favorite: Shake ‘n Bake. It’s been around since 1965, believe it or not! And for those of us who generally don’t cook pork well, it’s a lifesaver. It turns out great every time.
But I have one quarrel with the Shake ‘n Bake company. After more than 50 years in the business, they stopped putting the bags in the Shake ‘n Bake box. The first time it happened, we thought it was an error. The massive machine that stuffed the boxes somehow missed the bag for our box. The bag is an integral part of the shaking process, so how could it be overlooked? When our second box produced no bag once again, we realized a change had occurred. Hard times must have come to the Shake ‘n Bake company.
After all, how expensive is it for them to add a bag to the product? They’ve manufacturing this for over 50 years, always including a bag. Now we have to stop at an extra aisle if we are currently out of sandwich bags that may serve the same purpose. I was a bit annoyed at first when I saw this change, but I am still loyal to the brand, as it makes pork quite tasty. Did anyone else notice this absence of bags and ponder the change?
Stay groovy…
