Hippo Bacon I asked my mom once, ""You know how they have turkey bacon? Can you make bacon out of any animal?"" She said ""No, they just flavor the turkey and make it taste like bacon."" I replied, ""Well what about a hippo, they seem similar to a pig, couldn't they make hippo bacon?"" My mom was becoming obviously annoyed and said ""No that is not how it works."" I then said, ""It is not like asking if a monkey could produce bacon, that would just be bananas.""
