I Got Baited Into Thinking Kentuckians Were Immune to Vienna Sausage Bacteria

I should've been a little more ticked off than I was, but, as my mom used to say, nobody can take advantage of me without my permission.

Click Bait & Vienna Sausages

And I should remember that every time I click through to a story and learn that I won't be getting what the title or headline suggested I would. Is that now-common form of teasing acceptable? No, but we didn't have to click the link.

I'm writing this story because I detest the subject matter. Can you think of a better reason to write a story? (I certainly hope I conveyed the sarcasm.) Considering the source, I can't be mad. Well, anyway, here's what I saw. Then we'll continue.

I trusted the source (I still do), so I clicked through. And yes, of course, there was a moment or two of skepticism, and I was right to feel that way, as it turns out. By the way, there are bacteria in Vienna sausages, just so you'll know.

Kentucky for Kentucky

Kentucky for Kentucky is a gift shop with an offbeat vibe, and I love visiting and need to get back there. It's in Lexington.

Momentarily leading me to believe that one of the nastiest things I've ever put in my mouth contained bacteria to which I was immune makes sense, in that offbeat context. You know, I've fallen for stuff like this before, only to realize I've stumbled upon a parody site. And if clickbait can lead me to a fun parody site, no harm done.

And no harm, no foul here, either. It's really a win-win; it's funny, but, if it were true, I'd be totally in the clear.

Ugh, Vienna sausages. Send them back to Austria.
