Unicorn Meat Product

Unicorns, as we all know, frolic all over the world, pooping rainbows and marshmallows wherever they go. What you don't know is that when unicorns reach the end of their lifespan, they are drawn to County Meath, Ireland. The Sisters at Radiant Farms have dedicated their lives to nursing these elegant creatures through their final days. Taking a cue from the Kobe beef industry, they massage each unicorn's coat with Guinness daily and fatten them on a diet comprised entirely of candy corn. As the unicorn ages, its meat becomes fatty and marbled and the living bone in the horn loses density in a process much like osteoporosis. The horn's outer layer of keratin begins to develop a flavor very similar to candied almonds. Blending the crushed unicorn horn into the meat adds delightful, crispy flavor notes in each bite. We are confident you will find a world of bewilderment in every mouthful of scrumptious unicorn meat.

Unfortunately, due to restrictions on the importation of mythical processed meatstuff, we are unable to bring you Canned Unicorn Meat in the way the Sisters of Radiant Farms intended. When you open your can, you will find one tiny unicorn which has been appropriately sliced into its main cuts of meat. Simply use your Growth Ray to re-embiggen the unicorn before skinning it and processing its flesh. Or if you're lazy, just bring it to your local Mad Scientist-Butcher. He'll know what to do.

U.S. pork board has it in for canned unicorn meat

The U.S. pork board has released its legal team on the creators of Radiant Farm Canned Unicorn Meat, claiming the fictitious awesome product infringed on the board’s slogan: “The Other White Meat.”

The unicorn meat, which claims to be an excellent source of sparkles with magic in every bite because the unicorns are fed a strict diet of candy corn, uses the slogan, “Pate is passe. Unicorn — the new white meat.” ThinkGeek.com, which launched the gag for April Fool’s Day, has been handed a 12-page cease and desist order by the U.S. pork board because of the trademarked 23-year-old slogan, which it is thinking of replacing anyway, the website claims.

From ThinkGeek’s press release:

We’d like to publicly apologize to the NPB for the confusion over unicorn and pork — and for their awkward extended pause on the phone after we had explained our unicorn meat doesn’t actually exist.

“It was never our intention to cause a national crisis and misguide American citizens regarding the differences between the pig and the unicorn,” said Scott Kauffman, president and CEO of Geeknet. “In fact, ThinkGeek’s canned unicorn meat is sparkly, a bit red, and not approved by any government entity.”
