Pizza is the food of the gods and bacon makes basically anything better, so Little Caesars did the most logical thing possible: introduce a deep-dish pizza with a bacon-wrapped crust. Three and a half feet of bacon, just so we’re clear. The pig-za will be available from February 23 through some time in late April. […]
Ok, it’s possible some ladies will like this candle too… but we like to think that the folks at Everyday Eclectic has us gents in mind when they concocted this wonderful ‘smoked cured pig and tree juice’ candle. Or, for those of you fancy pants out there, Maple Bacon. See, scented candles are usually the kinds of things girls will buy on impulse as they’re lining up to pay at the local Barnes & Nobles, and it’ll usually be something like Ravishing Lilacs or Blooming Gardenias. There is no better way, however, to get to our hearts than through the smell of bacon, especially so with a sprinkling of maple. So have at it, for $18 you can get a 6 ounce candle of goodness that’ll last around 30 hours.
And yes, yes we know these are generalizations, so please don’t sue. Everything on this site is somewhat tongue in cheek.
This is a short and sweet video of Phinny the pig sliding on a frozen sidewalk. It’s so cute I squealed like a newborn piglet as I watched. Hey, I’m not proud! Just honest. Annnd getting a dirty look from my boss. Probably shouldn’t have played the video during a business meeting.

For all the talk about how much we love bacon ’round these parts, we’re surprised to realize we’ve never written about making your own! But that’s exactly what the above Bacon Making Kit lets you do. There’s coconut sugar, cracked black pepper, flaked sea salt, a thermometer and complete instructions, which is all you need to cure your pork belly and turn it into crispy deliciousness. Of course you’ll have to provide your own meat, but the kit has enough ingredients to process five 2-lbs batches, for a total of 10 lbs of bacon. For $40 and a bit of patience you too can experience the joy of home made heaven flakes (yes, that’s what we call bacon at OG headquarters).
For the two people who haven’t heard of it, the Push Button, Receive Bacon meme refers to the signage on many hand dryers, where the drawing of heat emanating from the dryer looks like strips of bacon. The folks at Minnesota hackerspace The Rabbit Hole turned the meme into a real thing as one of their entries for this year’s Deconstruction maker event.
The Rabbit Hole didn’t use a hand dryer to cook bacon though. Instead they used parts from a laser printer, including the fuser, which is a tube with a lamp inside it. Originally the fuser is used to heat toner, melting it onto paper. The Rabbit Hole’s Addie dropped by Hack A Day’scomment section and said that the fuser can heat up to over 450ºF, though with the small surface area it covers it might take several passes to cook anything on it. The group even thought of adding a paper shredder to the machine to make bacon bits, but I guess that didn’t make the cut. Skip to 2:25 in the video below to see the bacon makin’ machine:
If you want to see more of the machine being made, Addie also uploaded this comprehensive video of The Rabbit Hole’s Deconstruction efforts. However, like the video above the bacon machine is featured at different spots, so you’ll have to skip through the video several times. You ready? Go to 3:00, 18:34, 29:50, 48:30, 1:16:08, 1:27:33 (there’s a brief pause here that involves tacos, but it returns to the bacon machine shortly) and finally 1:54:45:
So it was actually more of a dismantle printer, test scavenged parts, modify parts, assemble parts, test machine, make adjustments, test machine, make adjustments, test machine, make adjustments, push button, feed bacon, receive bacon.
We could wax poetic about bacon all day. Just look at our bacon tag to see how much we love the stuff. So don’t be surprised that we’re excited to find out that Philadelphia Cream Cheese has announced the release of a Bacon version of their cheesy spread! It’s stuffed with Oscar Meyer bacon bits It’s only available in a few select stores in the US right now, but will be expanding soon. Apparently it goes really well stuffed into a French Toast.
This is the official shirt from the United Kingdom of Bacon, and the awesome part is that it smells just like the real thing. It’s all thanks to the special scented ink they used when the design was screen-printed, which treats people who are as far as six feet away with the delightful scent of everyone’s favorite breakfast meat.
The scent only lasts for up to 20 washes, but hey, it’s great while it lasts. Plus the design is a classic. The shirt is available online for $28.
SkyMall is selling this Bacon Scented T-Shirt. The very patriotic bacon and eggs American flag design is screen-printed with a special ink that gives off a bacon scent up to 6 feet away. But like everything else in this world, the smell is fleeting — it only lasts about 20 washes. Savor every moment. How did a […]
Bacon and motorcycles. That sounds like a dream come true. Turns out that it really is a dream that has come true. Driven By Bacon is a documentary about a diesel motorcycle that runs on bacon grease fuel.
Austin-based meat company Hormel has commissioned this custom-built bacon grease-powered motorcycle. This motorcycle is called the Hormel Black Label Bacon Motorcycle and it runs on B-100 bio-diesel which is converted from bacon waste into bio-diesel by bio-Blend Fuels in Winsconsin. Hopefully that means you can have breakfast and then fuel up your bike to go to work.
It turns out that it is pretty economical since the bike fuel costs only $3.50 a gallon and will give you 75-100 miles per gallon. Nick Schweitzer, Hormel brand manager, says that the bacon bio-fuel does in fact leave behind the smell of bacon when you drive, so you will be making folks everywhere hungry for bacon. Hormel is also looking for a bacon lover to ride this thing cross country from Austin, MN to San Diego, CA. Where do I sign up?
