bacon salt

Mmmvelopes

J&D’s, the makers of bacon salt, continue to make good on their promise “Everything should taste like bacon”. Including, apparently, the adhesive on the flap of envelopes. I give you, Mmmvelopes.

Proclaiming it as a radical change in 4,000 year-old envelope-flavor technology, they write: “No longer will envelopes taste like the underside of your car. You can enjoy the taste of delicious bacon instead.”

I strongly support this cause and the general overall philosophy that everything should taste like bacon. I approve of this message.

Bacon Lip Balm

/ Shane / Leave a comment

We obviously all agree that bacon makes (most) anything taste better. I don’t see any reason why this shouldn’t extend to lip balm.

This is from the people who made Bacon Salt, so I believe they know what they’re doing. It is a little pricey at $13 for a 4 pack, but come on! Well worth it.

I like how the article says, “bacon flavor both you and your partner can enjoy” which brings up an excellent point…if you taste like bacon, the chicks will undoubtedly come rolling in. (But not vegetarians)(but who needs them anyway)(sorry Rachael)

Bacon Salt – Aces 10

As reported earlier, there exists a seasoning (or magical fairy dust) that can add bacon flavoring to anything.  Proving what a good idea it is to include statements like “So, if you are looking for an early Christmas present for me, look no further” in your blog, I received said Bacon Salt as a Christmas present from (who else?) NBH.  Just to jog your memory, these guys started a company with the winnings they earned from America’s Funniest Home Videos, which is clearly the best way to start a company.

I actually received a number of items: Original, Hickory flavored, Peppered and a jar of “Baconnaise”, which is obviously bacon flavored mayonnaise.  I also received a bumper sticker.

I decided to try the orginal flavor first to get a baseline.  It sort of smelled like bacos rather than real bacon, but I’m okay with that.  I guess it has to since it is vegtarian friendly (Rachael, you can try it next time you are here)  I decided to try it on bean soup seeing as that has bacon in it already.  Fantastic.  I don’t know that it tasted more bacon-y per say, but it hands down tasted more delicious-y.  Absolute improvement.

The next night we had burgers.  Naturally I wanted to add some Bacon Salt as part of my normal burger seasonings.  Sara wouldn’t let me  and insisted I season them normally and then add Bacon Salt on mine at the end if I so wanted.  Clearly that just isn’t the same, but anyway I decided it was the perfect time to try out the Baconnaise.  Another success!  The bacon flavor was kind of mild, but there was no doubt that the flavor of the burger was improved.

I guess, in general, that is the only downside to this stuff; you really need to pour it on to get good bacon flavoring.  Now maybe I’m just a bacon maniac, but I would assume that anybody that would go so far as to buy this stuff probably is as well.  However, that is a small price to pay for bacon deliciousness on every piece of food you consume.

I was going to ask for suggestions on what to try it on next, but as I thought about it I realized, virtually anything!  It would be much easier to list the things you SHOULDN’T eat it on.  The possibilities are endless and my supply should last me a long, long time.
