We won’t wax poetic about our love affair with bacon, since our case was made long ago. But aside from being interested in bacon-related products, we do like to have some actual bacon now and then. You can cook it the natural way and let it get all curly and wavy, but some people prefer to press it flat. And sure, any old press will do but let’s face it: it’s better when it’s shaped like a piggy, innit?
Cast iron, $12 to $14.

A burger is a burger until it gets stuffed with some surprise or other: then it’s a ‘Better Burger’. We’re thinking cheese, bacon, cheesy bacon, or bacony cheese. Whatever your flavor of cheesy bacon stuffing, the Sur La Table® Stuff-A-Burger™ Press will help you form your patties with much less effort that if you were to go about it with your bare hands. It features special presses that help create a space for your stuffings, and make it a breeze to encapsulate them. “It offers two stuffed-burger sizes: a mammoth ¾-pound burger or, using the insert, a substantial ½ pounder.” And that could just be the best $13 you’ve spent for the upcoming BBQ season.

How do you like your bacon? I like mine caramelized with sugar so it’s sweet, smoky, and chewy–just how I like it! The thing is, it’s not the healthiest breakfast food around and if you’re watching your health, then you need to cut down on your bacon consumption. Like they say, sometimes it’s mind over matter and you can cheat a little by having your bacon and still being able to eat it too.
The catch is that it’s not actual bacon anymore. In this case, you’ve got bacon cookies instead.
J&D’s is one of our favorite retailers because they specialize in all things bacon, like bacon lip balm. Well now they seem to have Bacon Condoms. The tagline is brilliant: “Make your meat, look like meat.” They’re supposedly real condoms that have a bacon print on them, but are otherwise 100% as effective as regular willy wrappers. The prophylactics are allegedly lubricated with Bacon Lube, which we’ve written about before, so we’re really wanting to believe this could be a real product and not an April’s Fool joke. In an interview with the Huffington Post, company co-founder Justin Esch even confirmed they’re real. They’re $10 for a three-pack, which makes them quite the pricey novelty. They are also currently sold-out. But for all bacon lovers out there, we think you’ll agree this is quite possibly the best thing since… thick cut bacon.

Nothing makes a person more kissable than if he or she had minty fresh breath with a hint of bacon and vice versa. It’s like having a quick snack with every smooch and eating a full breakfast if you go in for a French kiss. You can pop a bacon mint or two into your mouth–or gargle with Scope’s newest Bacon Mouthwash before you leave the house instead.
It’s basically your favorite mouthwash infused with the essence of bacon. Hit the break to check out P&G’s ad for their newest product!
I can imagine a bunch of crazy scenarios where food would somehow end up being spread all over your head. I don’t know when it became fashionable to ‘wear’ food on your head, either, but I guess I’m a little late on the trend because these foodie hair accessories are popping up all over the place–and I just heard about them today.
Apparently, walking around and looking like you’ve got some pancakes or fries on your head is hot these days. What’s even hotter is when you’re wearing a strip of bacon on your hair instead.
You can hit the break to check out a couple more shots of the delicious accessories.
We’re not sure at which point in the last years Sriracha entered the Hall Of Fame of Geek foods, along with bacon… and bacon, but it’s definitely there. There’s Sriracha Popcorn, Sriracha Chocolate, and now we stumble across Sriracha salt. For those times when sauce is just too wet for your tastes, this salt is “a dehydrated mixture of Sriracha sauce, kosher salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.” The vast majority of reviewers on Amazon seem to give it the thumbs up, so we’re gonna go ahead and assume it’s decent. Considering it’s $5, you won’t break the bank even if you don’t end up loving it. However, it doesn’t seem to be available at the moment, but you can sign up to be notified of when it is.

What are Oreos without their delightfully sweet cream fillings? Not very good, that’s for sure. It’s like taking the fatty strips out of bacon, or serving toast without butter. It just isn’t as good as it’s supposed to be.
However, physicist, artist, and copywriter David Neevel disagrees–at least on the part about Oreo and the cream, because he’s built an Oreo Separator Machine (OSM) that’ll take the cream out of every cookie sandwich within its de-creaming midst. Neevel doesn’t have anything against the cream, however, because he built his machine as part of Nabisco’s Cookie vs. Cream campaign.
Hit the break to watch his OSM in action!
This isn’t the first time someone set out to turn everyone’s favorite breakfast food into something wearable, although this is the first time I’ve seen it done tastefully. Want to make your pasta yummier? Make your burger less bland? Turn that dud of a dish into an instant winner? Just add bacon. It’s a miracle food, if there ever was one, and now you can wear it around your neck.
This bacon scarf is different from the rest because it’s not just some bacon-printed fabric that’s been turned into a scarf. Rather, it’s a handfelted piece that’s got a bit more structure because of the material used. To complete your look, it even comes with a side of egg brooch. Mmm-hmm!
