Making a planetary-scale sandwich

Well, since we’re still here, apparently neither of them ate the sandwich afterwards. How wasteful! Now we’re just going to have to toss it out in a couple days when it starts to turn.

Oh wait, it’s turning already! Welp, nice knowing you guys. Somebody throw the earth away by upending your trash bin on the ground.

Who would want to eat it though? It’s covered in mold and bacteria. Ants and mice have gotten to it. Honestly it’s been sitting out so long it’s practically developed its own sentient life.

On the other hand, before Ze Frank or Douglas Copeland, there was Piero Manzoni’s 1961 sculpture, Base of the World (Socle du monde), a stand placed upside-down on the earth, which, if one considers it from a rotated orientation, serves as a base for the earth.

No bacon. Not news.

I beg to differ. This sandwich has ALL THE BACON.

(Excepting any that might be on the International Space Station, anyway.)

Assuming a spherical hog…
Using 2002 pig population, ~939,318,700 1
Assuming ~250 lb/pig
Bacon yield appears to be 9-15% of pig weight – will use 9%.

Earth sandwich has ~21604330100 lb (9.799559292321337e9 kg) of bacon.
