Overview
Say what you will about new technologies, but they don't always make it easy to stay healthy. So far this year, we've reported on services that'll bring you burritos by bike, gelato by Uber and burgers by honest-to-God aerial drone. Still, while we can't say we haven't been sorely tempted, we've managed to (mostly) avoid making total pigs of ourselves. Or at least we have, until now.
Launching in Melbourne at some point over summer, Tervey is Australia's first ever bacon subscription service, making it both glorious and terrifying all at once. Good luck maintaining a healthy diet when you can get maple cured bacon, speck ham or pork bloody crackling delivered to your door with the click of a button. On the other hand, why would you even need to diet? The fact that this service even exists means that human achievement has reached its apex, and we can all pretty much die happy.
Porkophiles can hit up the website and register now, in order to receive up-to-date info regarding the launch date and to get a discount on their first order. Once the service is officially up and trotting, customers will be able to set up a regular bacon subscription — be it weekly, fortnightly or monthly. They don't mention a daily option, but you can bet we'll be looking into it.
Delivery fees will vary based on your location, and you'll also be able to order a selection of condiments, sauces, spices and bastings – thus ensuring you never grow tired of stuffing your face with pork products. As if that were even possible.
For the sake of your arteries, we should probably mention that Australia did also just get a new healthy food delivery service. So, y'know, feel free to mix things up. Or you could just eat bacon for literally every meal. There's no wrong option.*
*there probably is.
