BAcon insanity

8/4/2013

I love bacon, so much so I even wrote a post on the Bacon Game, Mom Style. But I think this whole bacon craze may have gotten a little out of hand -- something I never thought I'd say. You see, this weekend we ate at a restaurant with a cute little shop at the front ... and horrors within -- bacon horrors. Okay, so some of it was cute, but using the word "horrors" kind of heightens the drama and I want you to read on.

Below you'll find a sample of bacon-themed items available for purchase. Remember, I'm just the messenger. I don't endorse these things, I'm just reporting them. We'll start with food items first...

Sizzlin' bacon flavored sunflower seeds, anyone? Don't worry about me. I'll pass.

Or how about some bacon-flavored popcorn? It's a great thing to munch on while watching the movie, Babe.

If you've got a sweet tooth there's gummy bacon -- strawberry-flavored, thank goodness.

If you get a boo boo bacon bandages will save the day. (Strangely, this one seems to make sense to me.

And if you're hankerin' for something fun to do with friends there's the game Makin' Bacon. It's fun for the whole artery-clogged family!

What could be more appetizing than wrapping your can of pop in bacon? Thank you, bacon cozy!

Wrapping bacon around your finger is awfully nice, too, though this ring looks kind of sad.

Of course, no Christmas tree is complete without a hand-blown glass bacon ornament. Classy.

And finally, something I never dreamed I'd see: a bacon-scented Yankee Candle. Really? I smelled it, of course. It made me wretch but -- to be fair -- everyone else around me thought it smelled delicious.

Thus ends my bacon pictorial. I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry. Oh, who am I kidding? I'm going to laugh...and fry up some bacon. For some reason I'm hungry right now. I wonder what that's about...

STOP! If you haven't entered the contest to win an autographed copy of my book and want to, click here and then come back.

It's icy outside so I can't leave the house and I really don't want to clean. So what do I do? Play the Bacon Game. Please tell me you've heard of it. If not, let me school you: You choose a topic --movies, songs or book titles -- then replace one of the words with "bacon." LIke "Girl with a Pearl Earring" becomes "Girl with a Bacon Earring." Got it? Man, I hope so because it's just not that hard.

Anyway, since this is a mom blog, I decided to find anything with the words "mom," "mother," "mamma," etc. in it. Then I changed it with the word "bacon." Here is what I have so far:

SONGS
Bacon Mia
Bacon Said Knock You Out
Bacon, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys
Your Bacon Don't Dance
I Saw Bacon Kissing Santa Claus

TV
How I Met Your Bacon
Dance Bacons

MOVIES
Throw Bacon from the Train
Serial Bacon
Mars Needs Bacon

BOOKS
Are You My Bacon?
Bacon Dearest (a made-for-TV movie, too)

FAMOUS QUOTES
God couldn't be everywhere, so he created bacon.
There's nothing like a bacon's love.
The most important thing a father can do for his children is love their bacon.
There was never a great man who did not have a great bacon.
A Freudian slip is where you say one thing but mean your bacon.
Bacon always said, don't play ball in the house.

PHRASES
Bacon's Boy
Baby Bacon
Hoochie Bacon
Bacon of the Bride
Baconly Love

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Bacon Theresa

I'd better stop now. I've got a bacon of a headache after thinking of all this. Got any suggestions to add?
