Bacon makes everything better

I am convinced that bacon is God's perfect food.

It just makes everything better. In fact, if you want the prime cut of beef, filet mignon, you have to wrap it with bacon to get that extra kick.

Don't believe me. Then why has someone gone to the trouble of inventing bacon flavored vodka!

Used to be that to experience bacon vodka, you’d have to persevere endless rounds of punk rock at Double Down (we’ll never forget the night the bottle ran out and we got to suck on the bacon — way nastier than a mescal worm). But now you can sip the stuff in your own home, to the dulcet sounds of Ella Fitzgerald. A Seattle company, Black Rock Spirits, has finally concluded two years of recipe testing based on the concept of “meat and potatoes” (bacon and Idaho russets, that is), and they’ve officially launched Bakon Vodka: “Pure. Refreshing. Bacon.” As of now, the liquid pork is only available in Northwestern states, but rest assured, the makers are working on wider distribution, meaning New Yorkers will eventually be able to experience Primus’s concept of “pork soda” (bacon vodka and Coke?). Check out If It’s Hip It’s Here’s list of other recently launched brands, including something that’s truly gross: Ed Hardy vodka.


Excuse me while I have a bacon flavored Pop Tart for breakfast.

I wonder... if you wrapped Coldplay up in bacon flavored clothing, would they sound better?
