Yeah, Right Lisa - A Wonderful, Magical Animal

For reasons I'd rather not go into right now, I ended up reading the entire Wikipedia page on bacon today. I learned a lot and I drooled a lot. Bacon really is delicious. A very wise man once said "Everything's better with bacon" and I have to agree with that brilliant man.

So when, alert reader, Emily Y. informed me that I could add bacon to ANY website I wanted, I salivated at the opportunity - and now I'd like to share it with you. . .the opportunity, not the saliva.

Here's how it works, all you have to do is add "http://bacolicio.us/" at the beginning of any URL and you'll instantly add bacon to the site. For example:

The site that inspired this post.

The site you're currently on, but now with bacon.

The site that has the greatest need for more bacon.

Give it a shot on your own and let me know what sites you think would be better/funnier with a little bacon.

WARNING: Adding bacon to a website may cause intense staring, high blood pressure and may put you at an increased risk of drool-related keyboard damage.

Embrace bacon mania.

Everything's Better with Bacon!

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.
