Did You Know iPads were Non-Stick?

Another great example of how to use bacon in advertising, this one from Brazil for Tramontina Non Stick Pans

Sadly they didn’t let this demo go longer so we could watch that little slice turn a delicious brown!

Bed Bath & Bacon…

Suddenly I am compelled to go pick up some new bath towels, maybe a juicer…

Yes, that little “smile” stopped me in my tracks as I walked in the house from work tonight.  If not for it, I would have never even noticed…

Behold the power of bacon in advertising!

Nerd Pic of the Day – Brightest Duplo…

Give a nerd some of his daughter’s Duplos

and he tries to make his own Green Lantern battery.

I would have kept going, but those were all the green one’s she has.  Looks like Daddy needs to go shopping.

Hope everyone had a great day!  When mine includes Legos with Lil’, it’s a pretty good one.

At th ened you’ll find out just “how bacon” you are and be rewarded with a coupon for two free slices of bacon.

R2-BQ…

Okay, not gonna lie, completely stole that headline…but in my defense you really shouldn’t mess with perfection.

It’s another case of my world’s colliding as the process of making tasty bacon and Star Wars comes together in what seems to be a perfect union…

It’s a smoker with a paint job to appear as everyone’s favorite Astromech (unless you are a R5-D4 fan that is).  Just a wonderful example of nerd ingenuity!

When your done, you can throw all your scraps away in this…

Seriously, being a nerd is awesome!

Okay, so thank to Food Beast for the heads up on the Smoker, Obvious Winner for the trash can pic.

Vincent van Gogh…Bacon’d!

On Monday we featured some art from Bacon.  Today is some bacon art!  A van Gogh to be exact!

Man I love Instructables!!

Yet another masterpiece created for their Bacon Contest.

Seriously, I am not this creative nor motivated…but I’ll celebrate the work of others all day long.

Bacon Boutique – Bacon Socks!

Okay, these are 18 kinds of awesome…

Bacon socks! BACON SOCKS! And these are actually stylish.  I’m thinking if I go with my tan slacks and a pink or orange “spring” shirt that I could pull these off at work.  They do have a little gray in them, but all that white just wouldn’t work with a dark pant.

Yeah, I’ve thought that much about these socks!

But wait, there is more.  I’ve never heard of the site selling these, but I think they are now one of my favorites.  The site is Ashi Dashi and they have some other really fun designs.  Hit the link and check them out.

Oh the bacon socks will set you back $12.00 a pair.  I think it’s worth it.
