Feast your eyes on the latest Bacon product, swine.

Perhaps the ultimate cure for dragon breath?

Bacon.

And mint.

Minty bacon.

:: ponders ::

No, sir! I don’t like it!

I’ll take my bacon-flavoured breath fresheners the old fashioned way: In portions referred to as “bits.”

Bacon salt, bacon mints, can a bacon flavored sports drink or bacon cologne be far behind?

Try new Baconade, replenishes electrolytes and powerful artery clogging Bacon particles!

Already tried them. I even posted about them here in the bacon salt thread. Of course, nobody listens to _me_. ☹  
Anyway, they’re strange but not really bad. Not so much a bacony taste as a smokey smell and slightly smokey taste over a sweet base. Not even really minty. Just…sweet and smokey.

Similar to Homer’s Skittlebrau, I think Baconbrau might be worth producing.

I had a smoked salmonbrau once. I must warn everyone against experimenting in this manner. Bacon and beer is wonderful. Bacon in beer should probably be avoided. Me in beer is a lifelong dream, especially eating bacon.

If you eat too much bacon (as if…) and get bacon breath, have a Bacon Mint.

I’m not trying it until the Tic-tac girl tells me to, I do everything she says.

Next, I could imagine bacon-flavoured edible underwear.

The only problem I can think of would be that you can never be sure when to stop eating.

I’d like to see a map that sets out where, and in what quantities, folks buy this stuff.

And then I’d take care to not travel in such states.

Why, there’s nothing I relish more than easin’ back with a fine Cuban tabacon cigar and a mint bacon julep in the summertime.

Fast systemic delivery of bacon can be achieved by means of the Baconhaler - two or three quick puffs directly into the lungs.  
The Baconjector is in the final stages of FDA approval and should be on the market in time for you to buy the gift of intravenous porkage for your loved on next Christmas.  
And there’s always the trusty Preparation B bacon suppository.
