There are so many things you see at a fan convention that make you say, “Wait…what?” Clown Meat is definitely one of those. I spotted this wonderfully disturbing little novelty at the recent Flame Con, where it immediately caught my attention. It sure looks exactly like a tin of salted and preserved meat, complete with a vintage-style label featuring a cheerful-looking clown tossing a steak into the air. The tagline? “It tastes funny.” Clever.

It’s just a cutesy way to market expensive  Brown Cotton Candy. PASS!
