A while back those tricksters over at ThinkGeek introduced us to the concept of squeezed bacon.  It ended up being an April Fools joke and got tons of play in the bacon googleverse.

Well it looks like you can enjoy the flavor of bacon in a convenient squeezed form.

You can thank the Norwegians for Ost (aka mjukost). It’s appears to be a squeezable cream cheese paste that seems to come in a strange variety of flavors including our favorite meat – bacon.

The things that bugs me though is that I had NO idea this actually existed.  My bacon observation powers seem to be weakening.  I’m not alone as this was featured in a post on That’s Nerdalicious for the first time yesterday.  But when I dug deeper I found a post dated 2009 on MoerBacon that featured this exact product. Curses!

Oh well – it may have been old news, but it was new news to me and so I am guessing for some of you.  So enjoy and when you make your next trip to Norway, grab yourself a tube.
