Real or artificial, go for it. A WARNING TO HEED: once I pounded a handful of the real variety and saw that they were a few months expired (immediately after said pounding, unfortch). I and my butt, both, do not recommend that you do this.
They're artificial, and yes @folsom_lives they are a portion of "The Great BaconBit Purchase Of 2019”. Like I said last time this happened, there's enough here to last 10 years. DAMN YOU COSTCOOOOOO
