Everybody loves bacon (the meat of the Gods).
And now we can bathe with bacony goodness.

This should be viewed as more of a jackass experiment than a “how to” by a soapmaking expert. I just wanted to see if it was possible to make soap from bacon fat.

The bonus challenge: make the soap look like bacon.

UPDATE:
We made it into vol. 18 of Make: Magazine!! Sweet!!

Thanks to UltraMagnus for the heads up on this great bacon find: the Wake-N-Bacon Alarm clock!

Almost certainly the greatest feat of bacon engineering to date, the Wake-N-Bacon is  “an alarm clock that wakes you up with the smell and sizzle of cooking bacon” because “no one likes to wake up, especially to an alarm.”  Check out how it works here:

Though the Wake-N-Bacon appears to not currently be for sale to the public, you can most likely email Matty of Mathlete.com for a quote.

Also, become a fan of Bacon on Facebook! And to all Facebookers, check out our “weekly” featured bacon product, and send us a note if you find anything we haven’t yet covered!

Wendy’s has created the answer to the question:
“How much meaty awesomeness can fit into a single burger?!?”

Behold the burger of the Carnivore Gods: The Baconator.

It’s like a farm in between two buns: two 1/4 lb. burgers with six strips of hickory smoked bacon.

This is the Banana Oreos of the burger world.
Mmmmm.
Bacon.

Bacon, with an awesome weight of 1, is the most fundamental element of awesome in the universe. Ninja is 2 and Batman is 3.

Both the Photo of the Week and the Bacon Product of the Week:

I followed this guy for 15 minutes to get a good snapshot of his vanity plate.

Dude, we love that you love bacon.

Unless you’re actually just a fan of Francis Bacon, which is still cool.

Jason from GorillaSushi:
“He might have wanted to memorialize the time he saw Kevin Bacon in Las Vegas.”

Heywood:
“Or maybe the guy is from the small Eastern European town of Bacon, Latvia?”
