Bacon Dental Floss.

Let's face it, oral hygiene is boring. Why not liven it up, with say, bacon flavored dental floss! Found this on Amazon, so you know it HAS to be good (have to say that, they are one of my banner ads). Finish off a bacon-y meal with some bacon-y floss.

4 out of 5 dentists surveyed recommend it.







UPDATE: I should have perused a little longer before the initial post, because I hit the mother-lode: Breakfast Floss! Consisting of the above mentioned bacon flavor, but adding coffee and waffle flavors as well. Wow!

The whole enchilada.  

McRib Update: It's Coming!

An update to a post from earlier this week, promoting the 'McRib Locator' website. It appears that McDonald's, right on cue, will for the first time in 16 years, offer the McRib nationwide. The date to circle on your calendar? November 2nd. Can't wait!

Get ready for some 'rib!

Beer Scented Candle.

This may not be the first thing you want to smell the morning of a hangover (for that, see today's other post), but for all other times, the beer scented candle may be just the thing. For less than the cost of a 12-pack you can have 70 hrs of beer smell without the chance of alcohol-fueled dance moves or questionable hook-ups. Why go for some wimpy, flowery, fruity concoction when you can have a lager!

Mmmmmm, beer smell.

Pancakes & Bacon Cookies!

'The Cravory', a custom bakery in San Diego, offers you the opportunity to design your very own cookie from a veritable plethora of ingredients, with up to 950 possible combinations. Among the eclectic flavors in their permanent collection are; Lemon Cherry Basil, Mexican Hot Chocolate, and Oreo Milkshake. But the variety that caught my eye (go figure) was the Pancakes & Bacon. Containing maple bacon, maple syrup, and pancake mix, this cookie captures the essence of the best breakfast you can imagine. Mmmmmm, I can smell it from here. Check out the site!  

Breakfast in a cookie.

McRib Locator.

There are legions of pork aficionados out there that cannot be satisfied by anything less than the greatest processed pig product ever...the McDonald's McRib sandwich. The delicacy - a pork patty shaped like a slab of ribs, with onions and pickles - made its debut amidst great fanfare in 1981 and has been highly sought after ever since. The problem is, McDonald's only allows it to be sold at certain restaurants at certain times, often for less than a month. This has led to McRib lovers to go to the web in search of their treat. I give you the 'McRib Locator'. Sightings and tips are placed on-line and the pig pursuers are on their way. Yum!

This way to McRib fueled happiness.   

If you care for more info on the awesomeness that is the McRib, check out this 'deconstruction' (including ingredients and health info) of the sandwich.

Urban Camouflage (Part 2).

Traveling to the big city and can't afford a hotel room? Got booted out of your place but still like the neighborhood? Don't have a car, but love to park? For any of those scenarios I have your solution: the Car Tent. No word on if you can get a ticket in this thing or not.

Cheaper, and more reliable than a Yugo!

Urban Camouflage (Part 1).


Here is the scenario: you are wandering down the street and suddenly a guy attempts to mug you. Off you run, with the mugger in hot pursuit. Instead of calling the cops, you duck around a corner and...become a soda machine. The mugger runs right past, or in the worst case, drops a few coins in your pants. Welcome to Japan. This quirky, crime-fighting idea is courtesy of fashion designer Aya Tsukioka. Check out the NY Times article.

Ha, ha! You can't see me!

Halloween Themed Sex Toys!

Being a lover of all holidays, I decided it was about time to get into the Halloween spirit. And what better way to get ghoulish, than with some sex toys? Well, this article from the Seattle Weekly does a good job of putting the scary into things that go bump (or is it bang) in the night. Only thing I don't like is it seems to be heavily geared to the females, and the one device that is for the guys truly IS scary. Thanks to one of my FB friends for sending this. Boo!

Very scary!

Outlast The Zombies. With Bacon!

It is not an 'if' but a 'when'. The zombie menace is coming. Will you be prepared? After securing weapons and ammo, the next logical step is food, and why not start with the best food: bacon. 'Tactical Bacon' is fully cooked, canned, and with a 10 year shelf life, it will be ready for the coming, lawless hysteria. 'ThinkGeek' sells this, and many other zombie survival supplies.


Bacon, ready when you are.

Bacon Double-Shot!

From "This is Why You're Fat":

The All-Bacon Sandwich (w/Wild Turkey chaser)

Bacon-wrapped Reese's cups...deep-fried(?!)

Today's WTF?! Moment: Justin Bieber Nail Polish.

The continuation of the mega-branding of Justin Bieber is as certain as the sun rising and setting. But this is an odd one, at least to me since I am not a consumer of female make-up products. I don't really get the connection between the Just-meister and nail polish, but for those who do, there are several colors (14, to be exact) like; 'One less Lonely Glitter', 'Prized Possession Purple', 'Me and Blue', and 'OMB!'. Teen girls everywhere are shrieking in delight. Available soon exclusively at Wal-Mart.

Will the madness never end??

What Would Ponch Say?

Back after a long, Columbus Day weekend. Hope you missed me!
We start out with a news article that just has me shaking my head with sadness at how my one of my childhood heroes has fallen. Ok, maybe 'hero' is a stretch, but I definitely had the CHiPs lunchbox! Larry Wilcox, who played Jon Baker, the straight man to Erik Estrada's saucy Italian Stallion (yeah, no admitted Hispanics on TV in those days) 'Ponch' Poncherello, was popped by the feds in a penny-stock fund scam. The story varies, but one site (www.debbieschlussel.com) is claiming that Wilcox pleaded guilty to a reduced charge and then became an informant. Good stuff.

Why, Jon, why?
