I HEART BACON SALT

For the last few weeks I’ve been taking complete notes of Bacon LIVE, my favorite and only weekly show about bacon and everything that looks, smells, or tastes like bacon!

During Bacon Live this week, the wife and I were at Graceland, having the VIP
Elvis experience, including deep fried peanut-butter and banana sandwiches with bacon!

Show Notes:

Right off Mr Baconpants announces Sean’s Twitter username of @baconknight in case you’ve somehow been disconnected from the internet for a few weeks.

Second thing up was Mr. Baconpants’ announcement that he’ll be selling @Sweetsoaps Maple Bacon soap that looks like soap but smells like delicious maple. He also announced SweetSoaps maple-bacon candle with a wooden wick so it sizzles as it burns! You can buy the soap on her web site and the candle is available for preorder now!

Mr. Baconpants also announced the return of bacon-themed jewelry that will hopefully be available on the web site in time for Christmas.

Jason and Sean both made it public that they are bacoholics. It’s the first addiction you really can’t be ashamed of. Don’t talk yourself out of bacon, talk someone else into sharing it with you! Signs of bacon addiction include seeing babies on the ceiling with spinning heads and possibly falling into the toilet like that guy on Trainspotting.

The Wendy’s contest during the show tonight was to make a video of yourself confessing your love for bacon to win big points for the daily gift card giveaway.

Current daily leaders in the Wendy’s Twitter contest are @iscoolerthanyou and @lovethat24chevy.
Sean has issues with several online services that let you schedule future tweets to score more points with the hourly points earned by using the #bacon hashtag. Sean was against it, but Mr. Baconpants was fine with it. Either way, there’s no way to prove whether someone is auto-tweeting using scripts online or sitting at the computer 24 hours a day getting their #bacon tweets counted for their hard work and dedication to #bacon. “Future-tweeting” has led to a lot of name-calling and drama. STFU and get back to #bacon, you tweenies!

Sean, the smart one here, brought up some great uses for bacon this Thanksgiving. He said it’d be great to toss some bacon bits in mashed potatoes and corn, but I must disagree. Use BaconSalt.

Sean also ran thorugh a quick Thanksgiving turkey recipe. You’ll need to watch the show to get the whole thing, but the important part is to cut a small hole into the skin off the breasts and stuff several strips of raw bacon between the skin and meat. Then wrap each leg and wing with several strips of bacon. I’ve wrapped turkey breasts with bacon and an entire turkey, but I haven’t tried the bacon-under-the-skin technique yet. We’ll give this a shot Sean. You can’t really mess this up.

Mr. Baconpants and Sean brought up the Turducken which would be made 500X more awesome if it was wrapped in bacon. Personally, I think they should stuff a Bacon Explosion inside a turkey, and then wrap it in bacon! I can’t think of a catchy name for it though.

Wow, we’re only half way through the show and have learned so much! At 30 minutes in, you can hear the quick 30-second version of the Baconator Combo song that they shortened for a Wendy’s 30-second video contest on Youtube. Mr. Baconpants called them up on Skype and interviewed them about their awesome bacon songs and the possibility of doing more bacon songs in the future!

During the taped interview, Mr. Baconpants ran downstairs and grabbed the J&D’s Bacon Ranch Dip and a bag of Ruffles which are the best chip for dipping into a sour-cream based dip! You can buy Bacon Ranch Dip from the BaconSalt web site for $2.99 a pack! Both Mr. Baconpants and Sean were blown away by the awesome flavor of Bacon Ranch Dip! Unlike other bacon-flavored dips and dressings, Bacon Ranch Dip tasted like MEAT rather than all those fake smoky-flavored dips that lack true BACON flavor! And the amazing fact here is that Bacon Ranch Dip is kosher and vegetarian and contains no pork whatsoever! You need to buy this. RIGHT NOW!

TEN minutes of the show were lost to the sound of the hosts eating Bacon Ranch Dip and Ruffles. While you’re waiting, go get some Ruffles and order the dip. When Mr. Baconpants closed the bowl of dip, I thought Sean was going to kick
his ass and take it back!

Sean did a great segment on non-bacon bacon related news, always a winner, but you’ll need to watch the show for the details of his report! Sodomy was involved.

At the end of the show, Mr. Baconpants brought up the whistle tip to make cars extremely loud. Guys, this has been a problem for many years in California! They say it is so loud it drowns out emergency vehicle sirens and it drives the people
crazy. You can get the DIY exhaust kit at Amazon. What’s up with that?

At the end of the show Sean discussed BK’s big losses created by selling the BK double cheeseburger for $1 to compete with McDonalds even though it’s causing huge losses for the Burger King franchise owners. Sorry, BK!
