Bacon! Bacon!


Who doesn’t love bacon? I’ve never met anyone who hates bacon. We love bacon cheeseburgers, bacon bits, bacon and eggs, BLT’s and bacon lip balm.

Yes. Bacon lip balm is available from Thinkgeek.com. So is bacon pop corn, bacon lollipops, bacon jellybeans, bacon candles, fizzy bacon drink tablets, bacon salt, gummy bacon, Baconnaise (porky mayonnaise), bacon gumballs, bacon bubble buddy, bacon-flavored envelopes, bacon hot sauce, bacon mints, Squeez Bacon (basically bacon paste), canned bacon, bacon scarves, bacon t-shirts, Mr. Bacon’s Big Adventure board game and bacon soap. The last one I am going to buy a lot of. I love the smell of bacon. And now I can smell like it all day. Rudy, our Jack Russell, will never leave my side. He will not need a leash. Little guy will just suck up in my bacony wake and off we go.

Thinkgeek sells eclectic everything from caffeinated body wash and caffeinated marshmallows to whiskey stones (look it up), spy cam video sunglasses, unicorn meat (“FOR REAL! NO FOOLIN’ THIS TIME), and titanium sporks. I kind of want that spork, too.

This joint make’s Spencer’s at the mall look like the Hallmark store. They have it all, if it’s a little weird and you are sort of a geek. Bacon, however, seems to be one of their biggest draws, next to Star Wars. For me, it doesn’t end there, however.

Despite having never bought a single slice of bacon through the mail, I seem to heave gotten on a list of bacon purveyors across the country: Nueske’s, Harrington’s, The Loveless Café, Early’s and several I can’t remember. The pictures lure me in. I want that bacon, all of it, every slab. Perhaps when my shipment of bacon soap arrives and I take that first shower, it will fry my bacon Jones.

Hmmm, Bacon Jones. Didn’t he play for the Rams?
