Boredom struck around 12:30, and I went online on my lunch break. The person who used the computer ahead of me left this nifty page up... I guess he really likes Bacon. Here are some of the things he was looking at...
For all those mornings when you have to drag yourself out of bed and into the car. Just say no to pine trees! Our Bacon Air Fresheners features sizzling images and enticing aromas! Each one measures about 4" (10.2 cm) and comes with a string for hanging. Price $3.99
Let’s face it, mainstream gift wrap has lost its edge. More often than not, you end up wrapping your gift in yesterday’s comics and that’s just unacceptable. Start wrapping in style! Our line of exciting gift wrap features unique artwork sure to make your present stand out among the crowd. Two 20" x 30" (50.8 cm x 76.2 cm) sheets of quality wrapping paper in each bag. Price $4.99
Boo-boos come in all sizes. Some only need a wee bandage, while others require something a little more substantial. Each 3-3/4" (9.5 cm) tall metal tin contains two sizes of latex-free, vinyl, adhesive bandages (seven 3" (7.6 cm) long bacon strips, seven 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) fried eggs) with sterile gauze and a FREE TOY to take your mind off of the excruciating pain Price $4.99
Ouch! That smarts! Treat your minor cuts, scrapes and scratches with the incredible healing power of a designer bandage from Accoutrements.

Each comes in a 3-3/4" (9.5 cm) tall metal pocket tin and contains a small plastic trinket to help make even the ouchiest owies feel all better in no time. The 3" x 1" (7.6 cm x 2.5 cm) Bacon Strips are cut to look like small slabs of bacon. Fifteen per tin Price $4.99
After seeing those objects, I couldn't help but wonder what other bacon items I could find. A co-worker sat next to me and helped me out... here is what we found:
Bacon Flavored Coffee
This almost sounds too good to be true - Boca Java make a coffee named Maple Bacon Morning. What a way to start the day.
Bacon Scented Candles
Not just bacon - but the whole package you need for a BLT flavor - bacon, tomato and lettuce candles. And don't let the aroma stop when you leave the house - fill your car with flavor with the bacon-scented air freshener.
The description of this just about sums up everything you need to know: "Bacon Salt is a zero-calorie vegetarian, kosher certified seasoning salt that makes everything taste like real bacon". Image to be included in Wikipedia next to the entry describing Nirvana (the state of mind, not the band). Almost as good as Bacon-Flavored Spray.
If you're out with your lover, slip one of these in your mouth after eating to retain that luscious bacon scented breath that drives them wild.
You've probably heard about Mo's Bacon Bar - the bacon flavored chocolate which has been blogged about extensively (and having tried it myself, I can confirm that it's a wondrous miz of chocolate and bacon goodness) So for an alternative, try Zotter Bacon Bits, caramelized crispy bacon, coated with chocolate and hazlenut nougat.
Be a friend to your doggy, watch the kids go wild. all the fun you can have with a bubble maker that dispenses bacon-scented bubbles.
It's not actually advertised as such, but apparently Rauchbier tastes an awful lot like our favorite food group.
Bacon-flavored Water
I've searched high and low for bacon-flavored soda (seems like something Jones Soda should make, right?) but until that comes along, here's the next best thing, bacon-flavored water. So, OK, it's meant for your dog, but whatever.
I see no reason why, after you've eaten a plateful of bacon, washed down with bacon beer, and finished with bacon flavored ice cream and chocolate, the porky goodness should end there. So even as you leave the restaurant, dig for those last morsels of goodness with these bacon-flavored toothpicks.
