Steak-umm revisited

Evidently the current economic state of America is perfect breeding ground for products like Steam-umm. I swear, I thought I had blogged about them and their ridiculous slogan about sticking steak in your mouth. Now I can't find that. I've search for "steak-umm," "steak-umms," "steak," and "mouth" and can't find it. Bah. Anyway. Folks, that wonderful goodness is back. Did you know that Steak-umm is "America's favorite sliced steak"?

Really? You didn't know?

I'd like to argue that. Though I have not tasted Steak-umm before, I can pretty much guarantee that some flank steak grilled and sliced up by our friends Chris and Slimey is far superior to anything bought in a box with Steak-umm printed on it. So maybe they mean that Steak-umm is America's favorite mass-produced, sold in a box at the grocery store sliced steak. I think Steam-umm is America's only mass-produced, sold in a box at the grocery store sliced steak. And in that case, is it really fair to say it's America's favorite? Can we have a favorite when there are no competitors? Or are there competitors that I just don't know about? I'm fine with keeping it that way, really.
