Jimmy Dean Chocolate Chip Pancakes & Sausage On A Stick

Ok, it's not news as Jon Stewart joked about it on the Daily Show awhile back (but I was away and only just saw the replay..)

Anyhow, I simply cannot fathom HOW a marketing/sales/whatever guy/girl in a suit walks into the Jimmy Dean boardroom and says "I've got a great idea for a new product"



... and the execs in the room, nod, maybe even try it out and agree to go to market.

In this day and age, with the US the most obese country in the world, after the movie "Super-Size Me", the battle against trans-fat ... somehow, they thought this would be a nice addition to the food aisle.

Of course, the reality is that people will buy it.
That's even scarier...
