Now you can enjoy the delicious aroma of bacon all day, thanks to the Hormel Corporation. Hormel is giving away the masks online. The masks incorporate “the latest in pork-scented technology with two-ply multi-fiber cloth to keep the delicious smell of bacon always wrapped around your nose,” according to the press release.

Who knows where this could lead. Have they considered the risk of bacon-related injury?

What a time saver. Never again will I need to rub bacon grease into my moustache before leaving the house.

You don’t need to do this to get a bacon scented mask. Just eat bacon and then put your mask on. I have fish flavored ones, sauerkraut flavored ones, Listerine flavored ones, and more.
