More about the bacon...

Continued from yesterdays blog: 6 Reasons Bacon is Better Than True Love

Last night my older brother Chris and I were talking about bacon flavored products when expressed how much he wanted to try some of them being the bacon lover he is. So I decided to make another blog dedicated to BACON! and some weird bacon products I've found on the interweb.

Bacon Gumballs

Novelty candy retailer Archie McPhee produces some of the wackiest bacon products around. Bacon-flavored gumballs, mints, and jelly beans all included.

Bacon chocolate bar

Since many people love bacon and chocolate Vosges has answered their prayers. The gourmet chocolatier managed to incorporate applewood bacon into chocolate bars ranging from milk to 62% dark. I like to think of them as a bar for every mood. But the secret to the smokiness in this baby isn't the bacon, it's the extra punch from alderwood-smoked salt.

Bacon Mayonnaise

Take two wacky social media whizzes, fly them to Miami, add some alcohol, and what do you get? Bacon Salt. That's pretty much how Justin Esch and Dave Lefkow came up with their first bacon product. The second, Baconnaise, was the answer to their fans' demands for a spreadable bacon.

Bacon Coffee

Maple Bacon Coffee – This would be a great way to start the morning, without all the mess of cooking bacon. Bacon flavored coffee sounds amazing and strange at the same time.

Bacon Lollipops

Following the breakfast theme, the folks at Das Foods developed a maple bacon lollipop. Although their lolly may appear to be twice-as-bad-for-you candy, it's actually 100% natural and contains no additives or corn syrup. Instead, the suckers are made from sustainable bacon and pure maple syrup. Kids, tell your parents the good news!

Bacon Peanut Brittle

Hey, you got your peanut brittle in my bacon! And you got your bacon in my peanut brittle! Okay, Reese's did not create this crunchy, savory, and sweet treat; instead, the geniuses behind the southern-style restaurant The Redhead did.

Meaty, rich, smoky Newskie's bacon is chopped up and cooked down, then tossed with fresh-roasted Bazzini's peanuts, spices, and that sweet Vermont maple syrup. Two great tastes that taste great together!

Bacon Ice Cream

Beachgoers on Rehoboth, DE's boardwalk flock to famed ice cream shop Udder Delight for extraordinary flavors like Better Than Sex (cake batter, African vanilla, and swirls of fudge). But above all, the crowds can't get enough of the outrageous bacon ice cream. This treat uses Bac-O-Bits — turns out the bits makes the bacon flavor even more intense. For the real pork, hit up the shop when the chocolate bacon ice cream is on the menu. The crunchy, chocolate-dipped bacon strips taste like candy bursting out of custardy vanilla ice cream.

Beer is good n stuff

Bacon Beer – This brings my two favorite things together, bacon and beer. This is not that strange, I just wanted to put it on this list to tell the world about BACON BEER! Try the German version, I hear its better!

 If beer isn't your drink of choice try some bacon vodka

Bacon Cheddar Popcorn

The Kernel Encore Gourmet Popcorn company dreamed up the ultimate snack. Its special corn kernels are coated with cheddar cheese and seasoned with smoky bacon powder. Thanks to the folks at Kernel, now you can satisfy your bacon craving at the movies.

Bacon Jam

Cook down bacon, onions and spices and what do you get? Bacon jam. Not sure what you'd do with it but put it on burgers. At $17 for 8 ounces, it must be the most expensive burger condiment in the world

Don't forget after eating all of that bacon you may need to clean your teeth using some bacon floss.

or

Use a Bacon-Flavored Toothpicks. The concept is awesome: If you do eat bacon, you can pick it out of your teeth afterwards with bacon-flavored toothpicks. A box of 80 costs $4.99.

Only Bacon Balm, bacon-flavored lip balm, would come with a warning that while your lips smell like bacon, they aren't bacon, so don't bite your lips.

Here's something to make your spirit bright around the holidays: BLT Votive Candles. I'm a little skeptical about the ones scented with lettuce and tomato, but about the bacon candle there can be no doubt. It will smell like bacon. Three candles for $33.95.

I personally don't like the taste of envelope glue. But I don't think I want it to taste like bacon either. However, if you feel differently, there's J&D’s Bacon-Flavored Mmmvelopes. Pack of 25 for $6.95

Bacon Air Freshener – I love bacon but I think having my car smell like bacon would be strange, I would always be hungry for bacon

Bacon spray – This is the strangest one of all, a diet where you spray food flavored liquid in your mouth. I think this would just drive me crazy. Eating bacon is not just about the flavor it’s also about the crisp (or chewiness, if you like it that way).

Once you are all finished earing the bacon don't forget to shower using bacon soap.

And last but not least
It doesn’t contain bacon, but it looks and smells like bacon, and it’s available for purchase from mcphee: the bacon-scented bacon print tuxedo.

Perfect for your next formal event.
