BPOW: Bacon Beer

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Perhaps the only thing better than bacon and chocolate is bacon and beer. Brooklyn Brewery has crafted a beer infused with Benton’s Country Smokehouse bacon called Reinschweinsgebot. Unfortunately, it isn’t available to everyone – cases of Reinschweinsgebot are limited, and currently it is only available at special events (including a $350 pairing dinner at Per Se in New York City this Friday evening).

BPOW: Tactical Bacon

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

Find yourself in a bind? Achin’ for bacon but away from your butcher? Bust out Tactical Bacon– 54 strips of ready to eat bacon, in a can.

As Neatorama points out, it’s got a ten-year shelf life, which makes it great for any underground apocalypse shelter. Important to note: when you open Tactical Bacon, you’ll have to eat all 54 pieces or else refrigerate them. Good thing we really love bacon!

I recently broke down and bought the Benjamin Franklin Instant Disguise Kit.

Today I tested this disguise to see if it lives up to its name and the results were astounding: one of the images below is the American forefather Benjamin Franklin, the other is my two year old niece.

Can you tell the real Benjamin Franklin from the impostor?
I rest my case.

Minor Travesty of the Week

redwhitenomoreblues

This Summer, Dreyer’s Ice Cream has decided to go with a limited edition “economic recovery” themed ice cream:
“Red, White & No More Blues!”
It even comes with its own exclamation point.

Their tagline: “Recovery never tasted so good.”

Really.

They are using the economic recession as a marketing gimmick at a whole new level.

Some suggestions for alternate taglines:
Looks like you’ll be eating ice cream for lunch and dinner this week!
You’re not working, might as well get fat!
Buy ice cream or diapers, make your choice!
Strawberry and blueberry – the official flavors of valueless stocks!
Red, White & Food Stamps!
• Find flavor while searching for hope!

The real recession-friendly ice cream:
the 99¢ McDonald’s soft-serve cone.
