Unfortunately, the general direction is to 'self-licking' envelopes -- ones that don't require licking at all.

envelopes don't have tongues.

Interesting. Too bad it's not at my store.

How ironic that I'd read this thread while munching on potato chips and...Bacon & Horseradish dip! Mmmmm...salty delicioushness!!

Bacon popcorn would be really easy to make - I could write a recipe but I'm sure you wouldn't want it!!

I am seriously in disbelief how active this thread is.

HEHE.

Were all simple

And bacon flavored popcorn sounds good.

In May of 2002, 7 guys in their first year of college got together and rented a cabin to celebrate the end of classes. On the morning of May 22nd, following a night of hard liquor, in one legendary breakfast sitting, 2.2 kilograms of bacon were cooked and consumed. May 22nd has since been known as the Day of the Bacon.

We've been coining the phrase "bacon up your" anything ever since, using bacon in every and any possible dish (and underwear, but that's another story)

It's about damn time the world catches up!

Okay, I don't want to beat a dead horse, but this popped up on Woot not too long ago and I thought of this thread:

It's okay to flog a dead pig, though. It just beats the flavor into the bacon, is all.

Even Homer Simpson thinks the pig is a magical, wonderful animal. So it must be true.

Wait a second. That's only 5 lbs of bacon. That's not even 1 lb per person! C'mon man, you gotta up your game a bit.

I've since been corrected. Apparently the 2.2 kgs were the gummy bears we ate all week. I've never touched a gummy bear since then. It's actually a 10kgs-package we got at club price. Still not monumental, but a ridiculous amount to cook in a single old pan in one morning. There was enough fat to fill four empty cans of beans, which attracted an ungodly amount of raccoons for the rest of the week!

T'was a side dish, anyhow. Point being, it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship!

Alright, now we're talking - 22.5 lbs of bacon. That's 3+ lbs of bacon per person. Now that's a decent breakfast!

You threw away the fat!? Heresy!

I know! Go figure! It's one of the healthiest parts for you.
