By the numbers: the Brutus Bar’s ‘Bacon Cup’

MONTREAL — The owners of a bar in Montreal have come up with a porker of an idea to celebrate the Habs making the NHL playoffs.

Why not make a Stanley Cup out of bacon slices?

Why not indeed.

So Brutus Bar co-owners Anthoni Jodoin and Jean Francois Leduc did just that.

The Bacon Cup is bound together with glue and varsol — so it’s inedible.

It will be on display at the bar until end of the playoffs, when the owners then hope to sell it and give the money to a children’s charity.

What’s next? The two plan on making another Bacon Cup, but this time, it will be the same size as the real Stanley Cup: about 36 inches tall.
