I learned about [this](http://www.baconsalt.com/) five minutes ago. Four minutes and thirty seconds ago, I placed my first order. I’d like to officially welcome my new, bacony overlords. I’ve always wanted to try a bacon milkshake… ---

It’s kosher-certified, so Jews and Muslims could eat it and enjoy the great taste of bacon? ---

I may be a Straight Dope member, but I simply don’t have the genius necessary to bring something like this to market. I thank my lucky stars that I’m smart enough to recognize _their_ genius in producing it! I wonder if I can get a referral fee, though. 😃 ---

I can go buy some in person. I think I’ll do that soon. Plus, since it’s kosher, it takes away one of my stumbling blocks to conversion there’s still the whole believing in Jesus thing. But with this - I’d be halfway to solving the bacon cheeseburger problem ---

I bought the 3 pack. I became kind of obsessed with salts after sampling a bunch from [Salt Traders](http://www.salttraders.com/StoreFront.bok). The Danish Viking Smoked Salt really is amazing stuff. And mmmmm, bacon. ---
