Bacon Soap

As a lover of all things novelty, I highly endorse the latest addition to the Thinkgeek family of products:

Why wouldn't you buy a gift that "Looks and smells like bacon, but won't give you diseases if you rub it all over your body?" 

Are you ready for your bacon latte?

"Bacon donuts. Bacon and egg burgers. Bacon cooked in a machine gun. Have we left anything out that might make your breakfast extra-super-bacony? Of course: bacon-flavored coffee! Thanks to the syrup sprites at Torani, this frontier has at last been breached, and bacon lattes are just a stirrer away.

The syrup is available through Torani's web site for $6.95 a bottle. According to Torani:

Bacon enthusiasts will recognize the same savory, meaty flavor as authentic bacon in this salty, sweet syrup. Torani Bacon syrup adds savory bacon flavor to cocktails, lattes, sauces and more. Just add 1/2 - 1 oz. of syrup to a 6-8 oz. beverage, and enjoy this innovative new flavor from Torani."

Torani kindly supplies recipes for such classic beverages as the Bacon Alexander and the Bacon Bourbon Sour, the latter of which includes bacon syrup, lemon juice, bourbon, and a strip of real bacon as a garnish. Yum!" (repost)

Yes, i am actually curious enough to purchase this syrup and will report the results shortly...

My First Bacon

Today, another awesome coworker drew my attention to another awesomer product on Thinkgeek:

"You've got a friend in meat


(and he talks and says "I'm Bacon!")

We're always thinking and dreaming here at ThinkGeek World Domination HQ. In fact, we have meetings to do just that (and eat, not that we need an excuse to eat). While nomming on some delicious BLTs slathered in Baconnaise, designerd Christian thought a terrifying thought. "With all this vegetarian buzz going around," he mused, "What will happen to bacon in the future? What if everyone goes... vegan?" (Insert the sound of three dozen monkeys simultaneously gasping... except for the vegetarian employees who were silently thoughtful.) This is our plan." http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/my-first-bacon.shtml

Only thinkgeek would create a plushy bacon toy. 

and although this next product is not bacon related, i have to share it because i'm buying it for all of my parental friends:

Tell Me Your Secrets Bear!!

The bear says, "Tell me your secrets, best friend" and then sends the recording to your blackberry!! haha!

Bacon Bandaids

If my coworkers were to duel your coworkers in a battle to decide who has the best coworkers, then my coworkers would win!! hands down!

One day last week, a coworker tells me that she is going to bring me bacon bandaids because, well, its no secret that i'm nutty about bacon.

Then, the very next day another coworker says she has a surprise for me and busts this out:

The toy inside

I wore this for the rest of the day

Then the first coworker, sad that she didn't get to give me the bacon gift, said she has another surprise for me and I will just have to wait to see what it is.  I can't wait!
