Comedian Ron White once credited his wife with the idea of a product men could take that would make semen taste like chocolate and everyone had a big laugh. While bacon flavored condoms are not exactly the same thing, they sure reside in that neighborhood!
Would pair nicely with the Bagel Möbius Strip, except that unfortunately it's not real bacon, but rather some kind of non-edible plastic resin. It's for sale over at shapeways.com for $19.

Bacon is delicious and wonderful, but you should not beat up your mom over it. Four months in jail for performing the beat down is not the only reason either.
Brandon Shimoda was into bacon before it had become the all-pervasive pop-culture meme that it is today. In fact, he might be the guy who started the meme. Back in 2002 and 2003 he hosted the "Bacon Show" -- an art show devoted to bacon. He ran it out of his Albany apartment, greeting visitors dressed in a pink pig costume. The crowning glory of the show was his "Bacon Triglyph" -- three pieces of bacon encased in polyester resin, preserving them for all eternity.
I was flipping through one of my old copies of Popular Science when this ad caught my eye, so I went to Google Books to find a digital version from their Popular Science archive.

I'm sure many of you will agree that this prospect alone would be enough to shell out the equivalent of roughly $5,000 for one of those new-fangled microwave ovens...
