An elderly woman was going through the bacon packages, picking up one after another and putting it back. The meat department assistant asked it she needed any assistance, to which she replied, "Yes! I don't know what to buy. They are all different and each one says it's better than the next. When I first started cooking I just asked the butcher for bacon and he wrapped it up for me."
"Well," replied the assistant, "there are lots of different flavors added, but basically it boils down to whether or not the bacon has been made with preservatives."
"What is the difference?" She asked.
"The bacon without preservatives has been made the way the bacon you got from your butcher was made, with all natural products. That bacon will spoil faster than the bacon made with preservatives." The assistant placed the bacon with preservatives back in the case, expecting that the woman would choose the natural product.
After some consideration the old woman said, "Give me the one with preservatives. At may age I need all the help I can get!"
