Tootsie Roll Industries (the makers of Tootsie Rolls, duh) have some pretty swell wallpapers. And even free nostalgic ringtones.

Absinthe is the new bacon. There’s a super hip restaurant in NYC called “Tailor” that serves absinthe gummy bears. They’re 85% absinthe, and sorry to say, I couldn’t figure out a way to pay them to send me some.

Also, absinthe lollypops at Lollyphile.

For more flavor overload, check out a dish at Tailor that’s just called, “Fois Gras, Peanut Butter, Cocoa, Pear“.

(Heywood, I demand that you go there!)

Wow.  We’ve talked about Bacon & Chocolate before in bar form, but this week’s Bacon Product of the Week takes the combination to a whole new level.  Marini’s Munchi’s of Santa Cruz, CA– also known for their Goatse-esque logo– has, after numerous R&D trials, no doubt, developed the mythical chocolate covered bacon.

At $17.00 per pound, eat it at your own risk, though it sure looks tasty.  Or, if you’re the more adventurous type, you can even try Kevin Karagitz’s homemade recipe.  But as he says, proceed with EXTREME CAUTION.

With the new Indiana Jones movie less than a month away (24 days left), it was only a matter of time until the marketing tie-ins cropped up.

M&Ms offers Indiana Jones M&M candies - like regular M&Ms, but with skulls, pyramids, compass roses, Indy hats, and Precolombian masks printed on them.

LEGO managed to produce cool Indiana Jones sets months ago (though I still can’t find them in stores).

When you’ve been traumatized by goatse [SFW], you’ll see it everywhere . . . even years later.

I saw this one last weekend:
Marini’s Munchies (Candy Store) on the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf.

Bubblicious Ink’d: perhaps the first time a candy dyes your tongue blue on purpose and then brags about it.

And plus it has that cool urban spelling which the kids rave about: Ink’d.

A friend and I chew’d a pack . . .

New York’s famous Magnolia Bakery has been serving up legendary cupcakes for over 12 years. And now the rest of the nation is finally catching up with a good idea: everybody digs cupcakes. Be prepared, the cupcake tsunami is coming this Summer - “cupcakeries” are cropping-up everywhere.

In the San Francisco Bay Area, a bzillion new cupcake joints will be opening their doors this Summer. In my neighborhood, Festin’s Bakery will be setting up cupcakety goodness in the Stanford (University) Shopping Center. And our hopes are that the more established local cupcakeries, such as Sibby’s Cupcakery (photo above), will ride this trend and expand to new locations (like next door to my house).

The rockstar of the cupcake world:
The elusive “red velvet” cupcake. Try to find one, you will thank me.

Perhaps the internet cupcake authority:
Cupcakes Take The Cake - an entire blog dedicated to the magical sprinkley world of cupcakes.

That’s right folks….bacon and cheese flavored crickets. These are made by a company called HotLix, a specialty candy company that has an entire line of insect candies, such as Chocolate Insects, Real Scorpion Suckers, and Larvets. Any takers for a Tequila-flavored Worm Sucker?

Big shout out to Blogadilla reader billb, who sent us what is definitely our weirdest Bacon Product of the Week to date. Can any of you out there one up him? Keep posting your bacon finds in the comments!

In honor of Easter (albeit a day late), and to combine a few favorite Blogadilla themes (Walk It Out, Gwen; Peep Show and Microwave Oven vs. Easter), I present to you this awesome video of our beloved Peeps (who are gluten free, FYI) “Walkin It Out.”  Enjoy!

Biggie ups to Nicole for the heads up on Lollyphile.com’s Maple-Bacon Lollypops.  Only problem is that they’re all sold out!  When can we get some more?
