Breaking: Bacon Shortage???

This is NOT a gift at all.  It is decidedly an un-gift.  It recently came to my attention, several times over, that there is apparently a bacon shortage.  Here's the montage of this bacon-strosity!  (And you know if the Colbert Report covers it, it must be serious business!):

The Colbert Report:

CBS News:

Geekologie:

This gift of sad bacon news was received on September 25, 26, and 27th from Mike (Geekologie), Heather (CBS News) and Pilar (Colbert Report), respectively.

Bacon Tic-Tacs?

Really?  Another strange bacon-hybrid product came across the other day...Tic Tacs!  Once again, I love Tic Tacs, and I love bacon, but the two together???  I'll pass.  I don't want my bacon to make my breath fresh.  Unless there is a piece of bacon totally self contained within that Tic Tac, ready to come unfurled and essentially become bacon as we know it...then pass.  After all, isn't part of the joy of bacon the texture and consistency?

Back....to the Bacon!

After a brief break (sick/vacation/lack of new bacon gifts), we're back with more gifts of bacon!  This one almost makes me sad, because bacon just SHOULDN'T be subject to inflation!


This gift of bacon was received from Monica on September 17th, 2012!  Thanks for getting me back into the swing of things!

Bacon Elemental

Bacon is 100% all natural...and it's on the periodic table!


This gift of bacon was received on September 2nd, 2012 from Heather.  (And the shirt can be found here...among other places...)

Happy International Bacon Day!

While not actually a gift you can see or hear (or even taste, I suppose), I was reminded that today is apparently International Bacon Day!  So my gift is one of knowledge, as I didn't actually know this.

This gift of bacon (knowledge) was given to me by Cathie on September 1st, 2012 (today!).  Now everyone go out and celebrate!

Posthumous Bacon

Just when you think you've seen it all...something new pops up (thus, chances are you haven't seen it all).  Anyway, this is a bit morbid, but for those bacon lovers who have to take it to the grave, we have this:



This gift of bacon was received from my favorite former intern, Bernardo, on August 22nd, 2012.  And as of the date of this post, this product is sold out.  But you can keep checking back here to see if it becomes available!

Bacon Nests

This just looks yummy...and the bite-sized portability of this is another plus for this bacon-hybrid product!  The recipe can be obtained by clicking on the picture.


This gift of bacon was received from Darrin on August 20th, 2012.  I'll give the shameless plug for Darrin's work here and here...now go buy stuff!
