I hate to be a party pooper, but you can make this product in your home. Buy a bottle of Imitation bacon bits (3ozs.–made with soy flour-- entirely kosher and vegetarian.)… Blend in a coffeee grinder or blender with about ten ounces of plain (not iodized) Morton Kosher Rock Salt and 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar. Add pepper if you’d like. Grind to desired coarseness.

But… we want something that tastes like bacon, not fake-ass soy nuggets with smoke flavor added. As a vegetarian who still remembers (and cooks for aforementioned omnivorous husband) bacon, I’ve tried many veg-approved “fake-on” bits and they aren’t bacony goodness.
Edit: WRT the salt, I’m hoping they turn out a potassium chloride version if we make them popular enough.
Once my 3-pack gets here, I’m tempted to try adding Bacon Salt to Bacon itself. But I’m afraid of opening some kind of earth-devouring bacony (mmmm) wormhole. Any physicists here with this sort of space-swine insight?
I drunkenly (and stupidly, I know) attempted this last week after running out of vodka and bloody mary mix to add celery salt to celery that intoxicated night… thankfully we’re all still here. But I fear Bacon is MUCH more powerful.
Oh, hey, and shouldn’t this thread, above all others, be a “sticky”? (Ooooh, sticky bacon! Like maybe bacon gum! [Homer] Bacon gum! Auuuuuurgh!!! [/Homer])

What the hell do you think is in this so called Bacon Salt, Einstein? Have you tried Bacon Salt? It’s kosher and vegetarian, there ain’t a shred of real bacon in there, and very likely the ingredients are nothing more than fake ass soy with smoke flavor added. In fact they probably use the exact same artificial flavors in the same ratios as bacon bits. It’s surely got hydrolized soy and smoke flavoring…you can take that to the bank.

LOL. You are such a bubble burster!
I ordered it anyway. I also purchased the New Harry Potter book for my brother this morning.

Early reviews by a SDMBer say this tastes like bacon. As I said in the post I quoted, I’ve tried a ton of fake-bacon bits (as has my still-bacon-eating husband) and those don’t taste like bacon. Maybe the soy stuff interferes with the flavor, I dunno, but if so that still means we can’t stick them in a blender and make our own - or at least, I can’t cause I think it tastes bleah.
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.” And knock it off with the “Einstein” comments, ok?

Besides, what would Einstein know from bacon? He kept kosher.

But with Bacon Salt he could have had both kosher and bacon! I bet he’d have figured out his Grand Unification Theory if Bacon Salt had been around when he was alive!
