So basically we have always loved bacon.

At what point do we love it too much?? D;

I mean, that is just somehow wrong. Bacon soda? Like, why?

I do enjoy the bacon milkshakes at Five Guys

Bacon milkshakes? Bacon soda? Do these actually taste good?

Many years ago a colleague gave me what I thought was a chunk of chocolate. It was a piece of thick cut bacon covered in chocolate made by one of the fancy chocolatiers on Madison Avenue. It tasted like salt, bacon grease, and milk. It was foul. She was very proud of herself.

The bacon milkshakes I’ve had are just vanilla milkshakes with crispy bits of bacon swirled in, they are good, probably worse than a plain vanilla milkshake though. The bacon part just makes me feel fat and cool.

On another note, I’ve discovered that the problem with pepper X hot sauce is, um, the other end of the equation. It’s actually pretty tasty other than that small, burning detail.

edit: I can feel exactly where my dinner is in my gut.

Spicy in, spicy out!

I dunno man. No way I tried that nonsense.

I do love bacon, but can't stand the artificial bacon flavor that gets added to a lot of things.

Fakon is the devil, orders of magnitude worse than Bakon.

That's why you get the caramel and chocolate swirled in as well. It's like a chocolate salted caramel with a hint of lard. Yum

My wife doesn’t eat pork and I came across this. Surprisingly close to the real deal. Would recommend.

Was at a buffet once upon a time that had a liquid chocolate fountain for strawberrys, sundaes, etc... there was a sign in front of it that said “please don’t dip bacon in the chocolate.”

After I got done thinking about how gross that was (love chocolate, love bacon - just not together) I realized they had to put the sign there because somebody had indeed been dipping their bacon in the fountain...

Someone gave me a chocolate maple bacon cupcake once for my birthday. I was doubtful but it was divine.

A donut joint over here that is a staple of a nearby city - Voodoo Donuts - does a lot with bacon, maple, and chocolate. I find it to be a great combination - just so long as the chocolate isn't overbearing.

I do like the occasional Voodoo donut but, to be fair, I don't find them to be worth the hype and the long stupid lines - goes to show marketing works. Next time you are in the area, let me know - one Voodoo shop is better/more accessible than the other (shhhhh).

IIRC, it was $42 for the dozen that the sales guy bought, and that was over 10 years ago
