very clever!!!

I have not bought a new jar of Uncle Josh in some time. I was unaware there was a downturn? Are they going out of business or just less production?

I dont know all the details. They are still in business, but are no longer making the pork rind products.

My general understanding is: America's demand for pork shifted to
a younger more tender pig. The younger swine has a softer hide and
Uncle Josh's suppliers only had access to the softer hide but
required a tougher hide for the durability in quality pork rinds. For
the last 3 years the rinds were pretty weak, and customers
noticed....so they pulled the plug.

Great idea - I do something similar with felt. If you have some old pork striper strips make a template of one out of cardboard and trace it onto the material.
