PERFECTION- it DOES Exist as BACON!

I joked with my family over the holidays about BACON, and how much we all love it (at least most!). We got carried away and drove the ladies nuts, but apparently someone was listening in. We said that they should liquify bacon and turn it into a drink - it would be the most popular in history. It would be like bottled Chuck Norris.

We'll for all you bacon-lovers out there...

Here's a photo and a link to a news story about our imagined invention turned actual product.

Fast facts about BACON:
  • Bacon has been around for centuries: preserving pork bellies began in China around 1500BC, and the Greeks and Romans continued the tradition, until Americans perfected it!
  • Choline, a mirconutrient found in pork products like bacon, may actually boost the intelligence of an unborn child (until they're born, served unlimited amounts of bacon...). Scientist at Univ of NC have linked Choline to better brain development, memory, and recall, and possibly a decrease in heart problems (just saying!),
  • In 1924, Oscar Mayer patented the 1st packed, sliced bacon (God bless that man!),
  • Denmark consumes the most pork in the world & the average American eats 17.9 lbs of bacon each year,
  • Each serving of bacon is about 3 slices, 100 calories, 8 grams of fat, 440 miligrams of sodum, 0 trans fats, and 5 lbs of AWESOME.
  • Every breakfast with bacon is EPIC!
  • It has been scientifically proven* that eating bacon daily increase your life expectancy (*not scientifically proven)!
