Puffer pig bacon, a kind of food, originated from puffer pigs. This particular food item was available for purchase in the Colossus marketplace in the era of the Cold War. Fishermen found puffer pig bacon to be an effective lure for trapping snarlfish, as these fish demonstrated a strong preference for it. The young orphans, Kel and Eila, also employed the bacon as bait. Subsequently, the merchants named Flix and Orka brought along a quantity of the bacon while concealing themselves within a shipping container, hoping to escape the planet during the occupation of the Colossus.
