Grandpa John’s Pork Cracklins


Reviewer: Eric

I have no idea what I was thinking. Why in the world would I pick up a product that has a name like this? No I was completely fine and sober at the time. Something in my brain told me this product might be good…wait no I saw the 20% more and thought I was getting a killer deal. 

Who likes fried pork fat? I don’t and I didn’t realize Grandpa John was selling me that. It’s in small print under the Pork Cracklins name. Pork Cracklins could have given it away but I grew up in an area where the closest thing I got to Southern eating was friend chicken and that really isn’t a Southern thing anymore. 

Depending on the bag you get, Grandpa John’s Pork Cracklins can either give you a few smaller fried pork fat bites or you can enjoy just a few huge pieces that will make you want to throw up. These things taste like fish food and they even smell like fish food. Oh before you say anything I have tried fish food before on a dare so leave me alone. Grandpa John I think is out to piss off consumers with his product and I will explain why. 

The packaging is nice and small, goes nice near the potato chips aisle in grocery stores. This yellow package has a green heading with the 20% wording. At $1.50 with these colors, that heading, and a cool looking farmer you would have done the same thing. But now though all I see is a farmer that is way too young to be Grandpa John and stupid colors that make me mad. 

Looking at the back is a nightmare. The serving size will put 80 calories in your body, 20mg of cholesterol, and here is the killer 450mg of sodium. Holy cow shit, Grandpa “I am too young to be called a Grandpa” John is trying to kill us. See I told you so! 

Final Verdict
This is one product I will not want to eat again. Grandpa John’s Pork Cracklins are a disgusting snack that will only please the 5% people who enjoy shit like this. Pass it up in grocery stores and don’t even joke about it when you’re near it. The only thing I recommend doing is buying this product, throwing it directly on the ground near the cashier, and step on it. The cashier will think you have problems but just tell them right after the stomping that you saved their life.
