Ohio State University offers bacon vending machine

December 7, 2018

Students, teachers, employees and visitors at The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences who love bacon can satisfy their hunger cravings, thanks to a newly installed, dedicated bacon vending machine sponsored by pork producers, according to The Columbus Dispatch.

The Ohio Pork Council, a trade group for the state's pork producers, has sponsored the machine and received bacon donations from Smithfield, Hormel and Sugardale. The machine offers strips and bacon bits, and it will be stocked by students in the school's meat science program, which will receive proceeds from the sales.
