Bacon Soap

/ Shane / 1 Comment

For Christmas, I got my brother an extra special gift, that only he could truly appreciate. I had soap custom-made to smell like bacon. And further more, this wasn’t just any old soap, but special oatmeal goat’s milk honey soap to help with dry skin.

It was pretty awesome, when I got the package in the mail, you could smell the bacon-smell rolling off of it. I don’t know if he’s tried them yet or not, maybe he can answer in the comments.

So anyway, if you need any custom-made soaps or body products, especially those that smell like bacon, you can check out the Natural Soap Shanty. I can vouch for both the products and the owner! 🙂 (She’s Sara’s cousin, but more importantly, she’s both a reader and commenter on this blog!)

Bacon Updates from my Field Reporters

First up is a step-by-step how-to for making bacon soap with real bacon fat. Some people might think that is gross, but I’m on board with this. Most bacon stuff smells like fake bacon, which is gross and artificial, and nothing like real bacon. So I’m guessing this stuff would be way better.

Next up is Skillet Bacon Jam which I have not tried, but continues to get good reviews. If I had to try one strange bacon product right now, this would be at the top of my list. (Although, sorry Meg, I did mention it back in July)

And finally, as my field reporter said, “Because anything edible can be made of bacon. I’m waiting for the bacon wedding cake. Oh wait…”

Yes, there is a bacon wedding cake.

I especially like the little bacon bride and groom on top.

Whoa, late breaking news from a second bacon field reporter! Tonight at 9 p.m. in Seattle, the Bacathalon! According to the website, this will be “the world’s first bacon-themed multi-sport athletic event” including “an attempt to set an unbreakable World Record for Bacon Eating”. To top it off, proceeds go to a children’s cancer charity. Give me one good reason not to attend this event (other than “I don’t live in Seattle” of course)!
