My girlfriend and I enjoyed some cinnamon flavored toothpicks.  We even considered soaking our own wood flavored toothpicks in anise oil to reproduce the flavor.  But we hadn’t considered bacon flavored toothpicks.  You get 160 toothpicks for $5.

The Bacon Wave is only $12. (You don’t mind if i round up that nickel do you?) You can cook up to 14 pieces at once (or stack two and make enough for you and your significant other). “Bacon cooked to perfection in your microwave, for the frying pan taste without the frying pan, or the grease!

February 20, 2008 4:35 pm

This is late news but in the bacon world pretty huge.  Thieves stole 17.6 tons of bacon (and ham) in Australia.  The value of the meat was $88,000.  Personally, just 1,000 pounds of bacon would be enough to keep me busy and happy for a long time.  Then again, maybe I wouldn’t get to enjoy it quite as long and I would like - keeling over from high cholesterol and all.

It is cold out here.  I live in Alaska.  I don’t really wear scarves but then again, I have never seen such a lovely bacon scarf before.  From the description: “This scarf comes from a household with cats, although the cats were not permitted to wear the scarf.”  I would have the same policy with my cats.  Absolutely no wearing the bacon scarf!
