Yes, bacon flavored tea…this one is scaring me a little and I am not one who is easily scared…

So I was this close to picking this up until I read this:

Ingredients: Tea, immitation bacon bits, natural flavors.

Hmmmm.

First, immitation (sic) bacon bits?  No thank you.

Second, natural flavors? I’m guessing that is only maple essence.  The only natural flavoring from bacon comes from bacon fat and I really don’t think they steeped the leaves in pig grease…

So yeah for the idea, boo for execution.

Not buying this, but feel free if you feel so inclined.  If you do, tell me about it…
