Bacon.
Admit it, the mere mention of that word made you
drool just now. Now wipe off your keyboard and let's get to the
meat of this post (pun absolutely intended). Bacon can be used for so many things. It's used as a
breakfast food, of course, it can be found on your
salad at lunch and it will make any
burger at dinner better. Bacon has even made its way into dessert when it's
covered in chocolate. Yes,
bacon can do anything. Heck, I bet some vegetarians still crave the yummy, crunchy, chewy baconness of
bacon!
And it was actually an
alert vegetarian reader named
Andrea who showed me that
bacon is so much more than just a food. She showed me that
bacon can actually heal.
Behold, the
bacon bandage!
Now, in the spirit of full disclosure, I should probably tell you that this isn't real
bacon. Real
bacon can only heal the wounds of your soul, but these
bacon-like band-aids are the perfect way to say "Hey! I got injured! And I like
bacon!"
But it doesn't end there.
Archie McPhee, the genius company behind the
bacon bandage also offers a bunch of other
bacon bounty including
bacon air fresheners,
bacon floss,
bacon-flavored gumballs,
bacon lip balm,
bacon mints (don't quite know how that one works. . .oh well),
bacon soap,
bacon toothpaste and more!
Now some may say this is
overload, but I beg to differ. In fact, I am willing to try every single
bacon-related item on that site while incorporating something with
bacon into every meal for an entire month. . .presuming someone else is paying for it. I've blown my months budget on a
bacon suit.
