Not every pork belly is the same, and the fattier ones are sold as a cheaper brand. If you've ever bought the really cheap bacon, it shrivels up to nothing as it cooks. So the window does let you know what you're getting and let you make a price/value decision about how much fat you're willing to pay for.
I suspect that brand affinity may have something to do with people not using that window regularly. Once you find a bacon you like it's going to be relatively consistent. But without the window you can't really compare two brands.

- dragonwriter 10y agoIf you are looking at premium brands, significantly more perhaps; lots of people are frugal enough that even if they are going to try more than one, they'd like to narrow the selection down before doing so -- and even decide whether or not its worth buying any at their regular store, or whether they need to try elsewhere.
- smsm42 10y agoIf you're looking for a premium brand, a small window is not going to help you much. I don't know how good your sight is, but mine doesn't allow me to bake it and taste it through the plastic ;) and if you're into premium brands, the sight won't be your defining factor.
