A Bacon Double Cheeseburger ad from the 80’s features a young Seth Green. IMDB confirms that he was in a Burger King ad. Mmmm.

Bacon and Cheese Crickets

Bacon and Cheese CricketsA company called Hotlix sells odd invertebrate foods like their line of cricket “candies” called Crickettes.  They have a bacon and cheese flavored one that you can order for $1.95.  I’ll pass on this one.

Fisher Price bacon

Fisher Price BaconFisher Price apparently had a “fun with food” set #2127 that included eggs (shells that opened and cooked versions) and bacon. It’s a older set (1987-1990) so some people are selling them for pretty steep prices but the bacon slices look really cool.

Bacon Swatch watch

May 7, 2008 6:05 pm

An eBay seller listed a bacon Swatch recently that had been unworn for $100.  Apparently these were available in 1988 which is when i was wearing at least one Swatch all the time.  Sometimes two on one wrist and one on the other.  No kidding.  But I didn’t love bacon enough to seek a bacon watch then.  I’m not sure I’m willing to pony up $100 for a bacon watch (their starting bid) - no matter how much it brings me back to 1988 and how much I adore bacon now.

Tupperware bacon container

I did a search for “bacon -francis -kevin” on eBay and learned that Tupperware made a bacon keeper.
Tupperware for bacon

I immediately placed a bid and it should be on the way to me soon so i can provide a proper review instead of just a photo from the auction.  I’m not sure how my girlfriend will feel about me adding a new set of plastic to the seemingly always chaotic Tupperware and other plastic container cupboard.  Maybe those results will be part of my final review.  Or maybe this will have a permanent place in the fridge keeping my cooked bacon from sticking to the bottom of a non-bacon Tupperware.

New bacon salt flavor

May 4, 2008 5:30 pm

The folks at Bacon Salt have announced a new flavor - Natural Bacon Salt. I’ll have to order it. From their information it…

…has zero fat, zero calories, is vegetarian and kosher, and tastes great on just about anything. It’s also gluten free, low sodium and is made with natural flavors. It comes with a spiffy new flip-top cap…

Here’s the product order page to buy from them directly for $5.49. As a small business they might appreciate the slight increase in profit they probably get from a direct order (cut out the middle man!) or if you can find it locally then demand for this stuf it what will keep it on the shelf.
