Bacon as Currency?

You heard me right! One man has taken it upon himself to try and revolutionize Bacon as we know it . . .

His goal: to travel from New York to Los Angeles with no currency, only bacon.

As part of Oscar Meyer's new marketing idea for their new thick cut bacon, the man actually travels with a  trailer full of the delicious pork product and plans on trading its tastiness for Everything he needs.

You can follow "baconbarter" on his adventure on Twitter as he tracks voyage and offers from interested parties. For instance this one from an off-campus house at Purdue University, which tweeted, "if you're driving through IN and want to visit Purdue, we have couch space and 29 girls obsessed with bacon!"
