It must have been a disaster? Perhaps grease fires in the toaster if the package was ripped caused too many houses to burn down? Wouldn't it steam in the pack rather than fry and crisp-up?

Neil Steinberg's book "Failure" mentions Reddi-Bacon. In addition to being too bizarre, fat dripped into the toaster, ruining it.

"Too bad the absorbent pad intended to soak up the dripping grease tended to leak, creating not only a fire hazard, but also a messy (if not totally ruined) toaster.

Ultimately, the product lasted about as long as it took to cook; the company scrapped it before it went to market nationwide."

From a CNN article about "food failures."

I can't believe that one actually made it out the doors even for just a trial. Surely they must have known it was a dud from their in-house testing.
