I still use it. I sprinkle it on hamburgers and pizza.

It didn’t get that many responses, but I’d nominate this one:

I’m not sure if \*\*Skald \*\*ever revisited this concept, but I thought it was jolly good fun.

All of which I already have in my kitchen, of course.

I just checked, and indeed I still have Bacon Salt on my pantry shelf. Unfortunately, it’s the same bottle I talked about in 2007. I imagine it never goes bad, but…

You know, I really appreciate this zombie. Despite my initial enthusiasm as one of the first buyers in this thread, I haven’t had bacon salt in a few years. When my first couple of shakers ran out, I bought more at the local grocery store. But when that ran out, I couldn’t find it locally any longer, although it doesn’t help that I moved out of the home market. Ordering online was just another one of those things I only thought of when there was nothing I could do about it. I’m gonna reorder now, and when it arrives, drink a bacony Bloody Mary toast to those that participated in the frenzy of the early days with me.

I have a nominee for a zombie thread, but it is closed. It is even older than this one, and got closed back when the board was still against zombies. Maybe I should start a new thread, and provide a link. Hmmmm
