If Cracklins Were Currency Here’s What They’d Be Worth
Cracklins are as good as gold in Acadiana. Actually, they're better than gold because they taste a lot better. As you know, if you want to get the good stuff, much like gold, it's not cheap. What if we used cracklins as currency? If we did, here is what they'd be worth...
Taking into account the average cost per pound of cracklins in Acadiana is $24, the rough exchange rate would be -
1 lb of cracklins =

2 movie tickets (and CVS candy)
1.75 lbs of New York Strip steak
1.2 cases of Bud Light
