Tactical Bacon has a ten-year shelf life so at least you can eat the savory pork product for a decade after society collapses. Tactical Bacon is fully cooked and packaged in a 9-ounce can. Each can contains 54 slices of [smoke flavored perfection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-product-range). Just heat it up and serve it. The can has easy to follow instructions; "Open Can" and "Receive Bacon." Stocking up on this stuff is a good idea even if there's never an apocalypse. You never know when you're going to need 9-ounces of bacon and with the impressive shelf life, you can keep this stuff in your closet until duty calls. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Long Shelf Life Food:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new food products with extended shelf life to cater to emergency preparedness and long-term storage needs. - **Convenience Packaging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create packaging solutions that offer easy-to-follow instructions and convenient servings for ready-to-eat products. - **Alternative Meat Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the development of bacon-like products using alternative sources that can offer long shelf life and meet consumer demand for meat alternatives. ### Where This Applies - **Emergency Preparedness:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a range of long shelf life products specifically tailored for emergency preparedness, targeting survivalist communities and disaster response organizations. - **Food Packaging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design innovative packaging solutions that enhance convenience and provide clear instructions for ready-to-eat products in various industries like camping, outdoor activities, and emergency situations. - **Alternative Protein:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Invest in research and development of alternative meat products that offer long shelf life and can cater to the growing market of flexitarians and individuals seeking meat alternatives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fully Cooked Organic Bacons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fully-cooked-sunday-bacon.md) - [Cinnamon-Bacon Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-toast-crunch-bacon.md) - [Celebratory Bacon Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-cake.md) - [Savory Cinnamon Bacon Strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-label-cinnamon-toast-bacon.md) - [Ready-To-Cook Bacon Steaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildflour-bakery.md) - [Flavor-Packed Bacon Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pork-clouds.md) - [Pre-Cooked Vegan Bacon Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-snack-factory.md) - [Smoky Uncured Pork Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hickory-smoked-uncured-pork-bacon.md) - [Cider-Flavored Bacon Strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-label-apple-cider-bacon.md)
