[QUOTE=Ferret Herder] So either a poster named **Pork Rind** , of all things, has forgotten what bacon tastes like, or we’ve got something on our hands that doesn’t taste like the crap they stick in bottles and proclaim to be “bacon bits.” [/QUOTE] Oh lord. All the pressure on me now. I had actual bacon today at breakfast and still think the salt tastes like bacon. I badly wanted to put bacon salt _on_ the bacon, but could not, mostly because I left my bacon salt at work. But at least now I have a reason to go into work on Monday. ---

[QUOTE=Leaffan] I don’t get the excitement, personally. 😕 You want all of your food to taste like bacon? [/QUOTE] You mean you _don’t_ want all your food to taste like bacon? We have a heretic amongst us! 😛 I just started a new job after five months unemployment and the three pack is my first splurge spend. Could I have had anything better for my first splurge??? Oh and… bacon bacon bacon bacon ---

[QUOTE=amarinth] I can go buy some in person. I think I’ll do that soon.

I’m weak. \ I swore that I would wait (1) until the reviews were in and (2) until I had money. I’ve done neither. I’ve been swept up in the Bacon Salt wave and place my order tonight. Bacon Salt…the crack of the new millenium. \ ---

I have been depressed about my precarious financial situation before, but never so much as now, when I must wait two more paychecks before I can order my BaconSalt. Then I got offered a chance to work some overtime, and as I mentally added up how much extra money I will get from the overtime, I delegated one hour of work to earning the purchase price of the three-pack. I have designated today, between noon and 1 pm, as “The BaconSalt Hour”, since that is the time I will be the hungriest, right before the possibility of a break. While I slave away at the mind-numbing task planned for that hour (straightening all the piles of boxes of understock products in the back room of the store so that they are perfectly straight and pulled to the front of the shelf…bigwigs visiting this week) I will dwell on all the tempting recipes listed here, and try to plan what bacony delights I will attempt…and who I will endeavor to convert. First one that comes to mind is adding it to my homemade onion dip… Bacon, bacon, bacon… ---
