No. Nope. Ain't no way! When I saw a picture of this new Oscar Mayer Bologna inspired face mask I got the willies. This just looks wrong on every level!

According to USA Today, Kraft Heinz, the makers of Oscar Mayer Bologna, has teamed up with Seoul Mamas, a Korean beauty company, for a new face mask that basically looks like a piece of lunch meat. UGH! The mask is described as a "hydrating and restoring hydrogel that promotes skin elasticity, improves hydration and moisture retention." What it doesn't say is that it looks like something that Hannibal Lecter would wear!

The mask is supposed to resemble the masks people made as kids with Oscar Mayer Bologna slices. I asked Phil if he did that as a kid and he said no. As a kid I didn't do this and I don't remember any of my friends doing it either. I guess some people did it, however wearing a lunch meat inspired mask as a grown up just seems wrong!

Our bologna has a nickname and it’s B-E-A-U-T-Y," the product listing says, a reference to the luncheon meat's famous jingle from the 1970s. "No, this sheet mask is not real bologna. Put it on your face, not your sandwich."

The mask went on sale yesterday and it sells for $5 on Amazon. After seeing the mask, lots of people had thoughts about it. And no a shocker, many folks are like me and think this is a big NO!

Would you wear this? Take a look at a video and some pics. I'm telling you this thing is freaky! It's definitely making me want to stay away from bologna.
