What’s Up Baconaise – Episode 4
Jun/090
I love these guys. I saw Episode 2 and 4 today, and they were outstanding! In the latest episode, Mikey and Will test prosciutto and asiago cheese, Brazillian cheese rolls, Popeye’s chicken, fish, shrimp and fries, a peanut butter cookie, some strawberry-chocolate pops, and some fine salami. They’ll try anything!

Salty and tasty, Salad Pretz are another fine Asian food that should be in every grocery store. I’ve never actually put them on a salad or any other food. Eating them right out of the package has always been my favorite way to consume Pretz. Of course, Bacon Salt gave them the flavor they’ve needed for a long time! I actually considered putting them on a salad after trying them with Bacon Salt. Unfortulatey I ate all of them with Bacon Salt.
Gear Patrol Reviews BIGS Sunflower Seeds With Bacon Salt!
Jun/091
I haven’t gotten to my own review yet, but Dusty Overby at Gear Patrol will bring your childhood memories back with his great review of BIGS Bacon Salted sunflower seeds. Read it here.
I joined the BIGS fan club and got a bag of Buffalo Wing flavored sunflower seeds. I didn’t really dig them, so I poured a lot of Jalapeno Bacon Salt into the bag and now they kick ass! I just eat the shell and all now. These sunflower seeds are the largest I’ve ever seen. Even the bag was extremely large. I’d buy large quantities if they were shelled and covered in chocolate, and then sprinkled with Bacon Salt.
Bacon Salt on Choco Banana Pocky

If there’s anything better than a hard stick of bread covered in chocolate, it’s a hard stick of bread covered in bannaa and chocolate, and then sprinkled with a dash of Bacon Salt! This snack is so sweet, and adding a salty bacon flavor is the perfect match!
Bacon Salt on Saya Snow Pea Crisps
Jun/090
Continuing with Asian snack week, we got some Snow Pea Crisps at the Chinatown market in Austin. They sounded like a great idea! Unfortunately, they’re fried pea-shaped flavorless sticks with some batter-looking flavorless stuff on the outside. It was like eating a dry sponge. I tested these with both Applewood and Jalapeno Bacon Salt and of course, Bacon Salt made them great! The snow pea flavor was much more noticeable with Bacon Salt added! My wife and mother both tested them with and without Bacon Salt. Without Bacon Salt, we would have thrown the bag away after eating just one. With Bacon Salt, we at the whole bag and wished we’d bought more!
Bacon Salt on Squeeze’n'Bites
Jun/090
Squeeze’N'Bites are an awesome jell-o-like treat from Hong Kong. They’re better chilled, but I was in a hurry to try them so I just ate them warm! If I die of some kind of melanine poisoning soon, you all know what happened.
The ingredients are just fruity flavors, strange chemicals and coconut chunks. Every flavor (strawberry, mango, and banana) contained coconut bits, which is the only thing specified in English on the package. I decided that Bacon Salt would be best on the Banana Squeeze’N'Bite, and I was right! It was awesome! The coconut chunks were soft and banana flavored, and the Bacon Salt was a perfect match. If they weren’t sure to melt on the grill, I would have served slices of Bacon Salted, grilled banana-flavored gelatinous goop with dinner. The other flavors were equally tasty with Bacon Salt, but banana was the most excellent.
Bacon Salt on Durian Chips!
Jun/090
We’ve all heard about the durian fruit online or on television. It smells like rotting flesh and onions, but if you can get past the smell, the taste is nice. We stopped by a large Asian market on our last trip to Austin and picked up tons of weird candy and snacks to test with Bacon Salt!
The chips were sweet and nutty and made me think of pineapple, mango and taro root. I was really hoping for something more terrifying, but they were delicious, and a bit of Applewood Bacon Salt made them perfectly salty and bacontastic!
Main Bait and Rizzo Tees!
Jun/092
We’ve added new bacon product links on the right for Man Bait, the awesome maple bacon lollipop from Das Foods and Rizzo Tees’ bacon t-shirt! I love Bacon Salt most of all, but if you’ve got a bacon product you’d like us to review or you want some space on the side to tell the world about it, we’ll be happy to help! I wouldn’t ask anyone to pay for an ad, but if you want to send me something bacony, I’ll be even happier!
Next month we’re going to give away some Man Bait, so stay tuned!
As Rizzo would say, “Stay hungry my friends!”
