Thin-Sliced Bacon Profit Strategy

> be ceo of bacon megacorporation > want to improve profits > sell "thin-sliced" bacon as cheap alternative to normal bacon > do this for years > start marketing the thin-sliced bacon as normal > regular bacon is "thick-cut" > do this for years > other bacon megacorps adopt your strategy > general public accepts thin-sliced bacon as new normal > raise prices > thin-sliced bacon is the price of old normal bacon > old normal bacon is now thick-cut bacon at higher price > profit

A smug Pepe the Frog in a suit presents a 4chan-style business plan for a bacon megacorporation. The company first sells thinner bacon as a cheap alternative, then normalizes it, rebrands regular bacon as “thick-cut,” and raises prices so consumers pay more for the same product. The joke mocks corporate shrinkflation, rebranding, and manufactured changes in what people consider normal.
