Bacon in a tube!

Somethings are inevitable - death, taxes, hangovers, and hoaxes propagating through Facebook. The latest example is Squeez Bacon™a Think Geek  April Fool's joke from 2009 which has achieved new life (yet again) in 2014) (And yes. it is a hoax. Here's Think Geek  themselves admitting that it was frosting in the ads ) But, are you really, really  hankering for squeezable bacon?  Life got you down since The Squeez Has Gone? Never fear.  Norway has you covered, with Kavli Bacon Ost . Bacon! In a Tube! Hurray!

Bacon Shake - When everything might *not* be better with Bacon

Ack! The Bacon Shake , from Jack in the Box, has got to be the *only* thing I can think of that does *not* tasted better with bacon. I mean, I can actually conceive of eating Cardboard with Bacon (mmmm.  Bacon Flavored Cardboard...), but ye gods, there has *got* to be a limit, y'know? As Brock Keeling of SFist puts it Wow. That was horrific. [...] While there were no visible chunks or bits of bacon floating in our shake, the sweet treat comes in a solid hue, almost a darker vanilla color. And the taste?

And not the good kind that, say, one might have found on their Sunday morning breakfast plate as mom's crunchy bacon mixed with Mrs. Butterworth's viscosity. The cold mound we tried to swallow was too sweet and too lifeless to be conside...

Mahesh's Sixth Law - If you need to convince yourself, Something Is Wrong

If you suspect that there is something wrong, but then proceed to convince yourself that everything is OK, then there actually *is* something wrong. Corollary Its probably *much* worse than Just Wrong. Corollary 2 If you think its somebody else's problem, its probably not, and it almost certainly is actually yours.   Hmmm, is that something burning? From the stove area? Where I was just making myself breakfast? Naah. Probably not.  I did char the bacon (mmm. bacony goodness) slightly. Probably just that. I should get up and go take a look.  Just play safe. But, but, but, I'm comfy, there is a particulary interesting commercial on TV, and my dog has her head on my feet. Besides, it probably really is the charred bacon. Yeah, thats it. But I don't usually char bacon. I'm pretty good at bacon (mmm. bacony goodness). Nah, theres a first time for everything. And this is my first date with the Char of Bacon. I guess i'll ignore the b...
