What A Prize It Would Have Been: Bacon Gum! · Oct 2, 02:05 PM

Yah, I know. Bacon is the new Paris Hilton, or Lindsay Lohan, or Britney Spears upskirt shot. Everybody wants. Everybody wants bacon the same way they want to increase traffic to their website by using keywords like "Amanda Peet," or "hot lesbian monkey love."

Me? I'm not hip, that's why I still think people are searching for pics of Paris Hilton's hinterlands. I know they've moved on. Personally, I'd rather search for pics of Kristin Chenoweth. But I'm not hip.

BaconGum Wait. We were talking about bacon. Yes, bacon. Sometimes people take their love for something-- or someone-- too far. Such is the sad, strange case of these Bacon Gumballs available from the fine folks at Archie McPhee. This is taking the meme one step too far. I mean, I love bacon and I love gum. Bacon has flavor. Gum has flavor. Gum's flavor fades and gets very, very gross-- a big ball of chewy, flavorless, ick. I don't want my bacon's flavor to fade and get all chewy gross! That would be just sad-- I'd have to take out my weak, flavorless gum and sprinkle it with Bacon Salt. It's just wrong.

Yes, I have to say no. No to bacon gumballs. But... If I were still doing TrivB at The Gravity Pub on Tuesday Nights, I sure as Hell would give bacon gumballs away as a Bingo prize!
