If you love coffee, waffles, and bacon, why not infuse those flavors deep into your gums?  Not only will you get the satisfaction of a delicious breakfast aftertaste, but also great oral hygiene!  Each package contains the three flavors and each dispenses 12 yards of waxed dental floss.  $5.95 at Archie McPhee.

From all the publicity that bacon has been garnering through the Internet, that fatty and savory cut of meat has become a celebrity of its own.  Don’t you see it? We’ve created a monster!  If this keeps on going, bacon might be labeled as the world’s most versatile food.

New bacon-based products, flavors, and spin-offs have resurrected a  bacon revolution.  Most people would tell you that they are a bacon connoisseur in some form or another.  They would tell you that they would eat bacon for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if they could.  It’s amazing how a simple cut of meat can manifest so much pork-loving pride in an individual.

As it might seem that bacon is taking the world by storm, it in no way should be associated as a trend.  Bacon has been around for centuries, and unless all the pigs go extinct, bacon is here to stay.  Just think of how much the last pig on earth would be worth?  It’s mind-boggling.

No, bacon isn’t some fad that we hop on and off of.   Instead it’s the application of bacon that has been gaining popularity.  Some of these applications often do strike an odd note, hit our funny bones, or make us think, “Wow, that’s genius, why didn’t I think of that?”  The versatility of bacon has kept pork sales up, although sales have recently been impacted by fears of a potential H1N1 swine flew pandemic.

According to the US National Pork Board, bacon sales grew by 15% between 2002 and 2007.  Citing a different source, the American Farm Bureau noted that bacon sales were up 10% in 2008 and total sales reached $2.1 billion.  Despite the diet fads and public messages on reducing meat consumption, bacon has managed to evade them all.  Even the recession doesn’t seem to have a negative impact on sales.  Ah, bacon…recession proof and diet proof.

Sifting through the Internet for bacon-themed websites is daunting.  It’s saturated with bacon blogs and there seem to be new ones popping up every second.  Bacon has made its way into cakes, chocolate, beer, vodka, mayonnaise, ice cream, and salt.  There’s even the Turbaconducken, which is a turducken wrapped in bacon.  Then there’s the BA-K-47, a 1:1 scale replica of an AK-47 assault rifle made completely out of bacon.  The creator spent 8 hours making it with packs of bacon and a blow torch.  Bacon-themed products have also made their way to the masses: bacon lip balm, bacon air fresheners, bacon wallets, even a bacon suit…you get the idea.  Heather Lauer, creator of the bacon blog, Bacon Unwrapped, has professed her love of what she calls, “the best meat ever,” in her recently published book, ‘Bacon:  A Love Story.’  I picked up a copy and when I’m finished, I’ll post a review.

Bacon…maybe it’s time to classify bacon as a superfood.

More than ever, pork needs your help.  The fear of a H1N1 swine flu pandemic has caused a decreased consumption of pork.  Despite the fact that the virus can’t be transmitted from eating pork, people aren’t taking chances.  Well, let me tell you this, if you don’t eat park, the swine flu wins!

Yeah, that’s not too convincing, but how about this tidbit?  According to the new book Fat by Jennifer McLagan, 45% of bacon fat is monounsaturated, meaning it aids in lowering bad cholesterol levels.  What’s more, the fat is similar to that found in olive oil, which is high in oleic acid.  This is going to take cooking to a whole new level!

The release of Bakon, the bacon flavored vodka, doesn’t surprise me.  What’s surprising is, what took so long?  For most of us in the states, this item is going to be hard to come by.  Limited quantities are available in only four states so far.  Who are the lucky states?  Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana.  Production expansion will be based on demand, and I hope demand is far exceeding supply.  We need this stuff in the East Coast!

Bakon Vodka is a superior quality potato vodka with a savory bacon flavor. It’s clean, crisp, and delicious. This is the only vodka you’ll ever want to use to make a Bloody Mary, and it’s a complementary element of both sweet and savory drinks.

I guess it was inevitable, it was bound to happen…like Judgement Day.

Introducing Squeez Bacon.

Vilhelm Lillefläsk’s Squeez Bacon® is fully cooked 100% bacon. Due to the patented electro-mechanical process by which Squeez Bacon® is rendered, it requires no preservatives or other additives. Each serving is as healthy as real bacon, and equivalent to 4 premium slices of bacon! You can put it on sandwiches, pizza, pastas, bacon, soups, pies, eat it hot or cold (warm Squeez Bacon® on toasted rye is to die for), substitute it for bacon in your recipes, or even eat it right out of the tube like we do! If it’s edible, it’s better with Squeez Bacon®. In the immortal words of Vilhelm Lillefläsk, “Aldrig kommer att ge dig upp!” Once you get a taste of Squeez Bacon®, you’ll know exactly what he meant.

That’s right, Squeez Bacon is “as healthy as real bacon…”  Somehow I doubt that statement.  I mean, if these guys define foods such as fried chicken and French fries as healthy, then who am I to judge?

For you sloppy eaters, you probably end up wearing your food after a meal.  But what about the rest of us?  While we might not want to get food all over our clothes, having pictures of our beloved breakfast items might be the next best thing.  Nixon has stepped up to the plate in providing us breakfast and food lovers with egg and bacon T-shirts.  The picture of the egg seems a bit of overkill as it takes up 50% of the front of the t-shirt.  The bacon t-shirt on the other hand, is just perfect.

The Sunny-Side Up and Bacon T-shirts cost $24.00 each.  Get yours here.

I almost bought this hamburger phone, but then I remembered that I don’t have a land line. Darn.

Cracker lighters.  Took me a while to figure out how to turn it on.

Foam bread.  Softer than the real thing, but I had no idea what purpose they served.  Mouse wrist pads perhaps?

Key chains.  Do not ingest.

Bacon cell phone leashes.  Too bad my iPhone doesn’t have a leash loop.

Wait, where’s the toy?!?!
