No you can eat bacon while you’re on a diet! Abbey Fleck was only eight years old when she invented Makin’Bacon – a device which hangs bacon away from the fat while it cooks in the microwave. All the goodness without the fat!
Her grandfather initially took out a loan so they could produce the 100,000 dishes Wal-Mart required for the first distribution. He didn’t have to worry though…Abbey and her father now owns A de F, Inc which produces and sells about 640,000 Makin’ Bacon dished each year – earning them more than $1 million annually in royalties.
See? Living proof that being clever pays!
