Man Drives Across USA, Only Uses Bacon As Currency

Josh Sankey needs your help.

In a clever marketing move by Oscar Mayer, they have put him in a trailer, filled it with piles and piles of bacon and are seeing if he can make it coast-to-coast only using their bacon as currency.

No coins, no bologna. Just bacon.

“I need your help. I’m driving from NY to LA with no cash and no cards—just a trailer full of Butcher Thick Cut Bacon to barter with you for everything I need," Josh explains.

On their website, you can propose a barter, see what he needs, and follow his antics on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
