Bacon Candy

The first time I heard about the combination of bacon and all things sweet, I totally balked. I mean, I love bacon and I love chocolate (who doesn’t?), but the thought of putting them together does not sit well with me. When Darice wrote about Chocolate Covered Bacon last year, though, I was almost convinced. Come to think of it, I was convinced. I just have not run across the product yet. Writing this post also reminds me of Bacon Flavored Lip Balm, which really does not entice me at all. But whatever floats your boat… If you are into trying bacon in all its possible forms, then you will Read more »

Bacon Explosion

Yes! I said bacon! B-A-C-O-N. That “sinful” thing that we all love to munch on any time of the day. I don’t know how exactly bacon became as big as it is now, but the whole ForeverGeek crew is united in loving everything bacon. We’ve brought you everything from a Bacon Lorem Ispum Generator to Bacon Tattoos to even Kevin Bacon in Bacon, and now, why don’t you join us in celebrating International Bacon Day? It is a real holiday, albeit unofficial. International Bacon Day was created by a group of students from CU Boulder (Colorado) in 2004, and it is celebrated yearly on the Saturday before Labor Day in Read more »

The Lorem Ipsum Generator for Hipsters (And Bacon!)

Hipster Ipsum Generator

We’ve all seen those pages of “nonsensical” text in a language that only a handful of people understand and/or speak today.  But did you know that Lorem Ipsum is really NOT nonsensical?  It may NOT make sense to the average person today, but this block of text used in the printing and typesetting industry (as well as online) actually has meaning.  As a matter of fact, Lorem Ipsum comes from an ancient piece of work, ”de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, which dates back to 45 BC. With all the creative minds in this world, it is not a surprise that the standard Lorem Read more »

Have a Bacon-y Valentine’s Day!

In my part of the world, this commercialized “holiday” is over for most people. To be honest, I was overwhelmed by the degree of enthusiasm I observed tonight. People in this city really do take Valentine’s Day seriously! I don’t know if you do celebrate this “Hallmark holiday”, but here is something I discovered over the weekend. I got the best Valentine’s gift ever – a web site about everyone’s favorite food: BACON! Dubbed Republic of Bacon, this site is all that bacon lovers need, really. I have to warn you though – do not visit if you will have problems getting your hand on some bacon. The moment I Read more »

Bacon Lovers Will Want No Other Nativity Scene This Christmas

Bacon lovers, your Christmas can’t get any better! I just saw this image at Picasa, and it was love at first sight! (Actually, it more like “I want some bacon, NOW!”) Call it crazy, weird, even borderline sacrilegious, but I think that many of you will agree that SayUncle – the guy who originally shared the photo – is a genius for having come up with this set up.

Peanut Butter Bacon Cups

A month ago I wrote about chocolate covered bacon that are fresh made and actually taste good. Now what about eating a peanut butter bacon cup? A chocolate cup filled with natural peanut butter with bacon bits in it. So far this is the best bacon food creation I have come across online. Bacon and chocolate is great, but bacon, chocolate and peanut butter is sublime. Maybe it is because lately I have taken a liking in eating sandwich meats with something sweet. Only three weeks ago I had a chorizo sandwich with tomato jam, since then I have been adding tomato jam on all my meat sandwiches. The peanut Read more »

Chocolate Covered Bacon

Chocolate Covered Bacon

Finally a real bacon delicacy that is fresh and made out of real products and flavor. The chocolate covered bacon is made from hickory smoked bacon that is cooked in the oven until golden and crispy. My favorite way of making bacon by the way. Then the bacon is smothered in chocolate, two versions actually, dark chocolate and regular chocolate. Considering this is a very fatty delicacy I would go all the way and get the dark chocolate instead of the regular chocolate. Read more »

Kevin Bacon Made Out Of Bacon

Kevin Bacon Made Out Of Bacon

Now bacon fanatics can try to get a unique bacon item for their bacon collection; a Kevin Bacon bust made out of bacon and bacon bits. The life sized sculpture of Kevin Bacon’s face was created to be auctioned off on Ebay for a charity cause. Another surprising and unorthodox art piece, although can art be unorthodox? Art is art it can be as traditional or unusual as ones creativity can create. Even though the sculpture is made out of food it will last a long time as it has been lacquered for preservation. Do take note that this means that the bacon sculpture is not edible despite how appealing Read more »

Bacon Flavored Lip Balm

Bacon Flavored Lip Balm

Tired from the plethora of fruit flavored lip balms? Now you can buy food flavored ones with Bacon flavor being the most notorious one to me. Other choices are pickle, corndog, nacho and wasabi. I really wonder how it would taste to wear those lip balms, like just having eaten? Or would it make you hungry? Personally I don’t like flavored lip balms, with one exception, coconut flavored. It always reminds me of being on the beach, especially nice when it’s in the middle of winter. Otherwise I’m plain boring with lip balms using a plain non flavored one, so this Bacon Balm and the other food flavored ones look Read more »

Bacon Bits

It’s time to talk about our favorite food again, bacon! I haven’t eaten bacon for almost a month and I’m starting to have strong cravings. It didn’t help matters much that I just found an infographic with seventeen facts about bacon, none of which I was aware of. This infographic should be send to the butchers I frequent too, it has happened more then once that I have to explain them what kind of bacon I want. Now with the information of this infographic I can formulate it better to them. Read more »
