Weird Product From The Past

Sizzlean, the alternative bacon made from beef, was billed as 50% less fat than bacon. It was also one of the first imitation breakfast foods. Beef made to look and taste like bacon? That sounds disgusting. These ads were all over the place in the late 1970's until sometime in the mid-80's. The commercial below is from 1985.

Anyone else remember this stuff? I actually remember having it as a kid once, but I don't remember whether it was passable as bacon or just nasty. Of course if it came around today I would never try it. It's amazing what kids are forced to eat. Sizzlean was probably also pumped full of umpteen chemicals to give it that 'bacon taste'.
