Review# 259: Bacon Salt
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008
I can’t believe it took me so long to do this one. Bacon Salt is great, I love it! I’ve been puting it in my scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, on steak, popcorn, and vegetables. It’s the best, it really is. When trying to imagine what it tastes like, one should think “Bacos-salt” because, well, it tastes a lot like bacon-substitute topping, Bacos, mixed with salt. It doesn’t taste exactly like bacon but enough to make you get your bacon fix. That does not deter this delightful condiment from taking it’s place among the awesome things of this world. You shouldn’t have trouble finding Bacon Salt, because it’s been popping up everywhere. If you can’t find it, their website lists retailers who carry it. I have only tried the original flavor as of yet, but I will soon sample the other two flavors, hickory and peppered. They make a natural kind, who’s list of ingredients is dramaticaly shorter, but I won’t try that because I don’t really care what I’m puting into my body.
A special thanks to Mike and Janice for turning me on to this life-affirming product.
Every once in a while when I’m looking for a refreshing beverage I see root beer and think “That would be great, if only it had caffeine.” I know 
I know, the immediate reaction is “ewww, gas station food!” but really, this 7-11 isn’t so bad. It’s tucked away near this christian college I live by and it’s really clean and they sell some decent food, like apples and bagel sanwiches they make themselves.

Jeremy finally made the gnocchi he’s been talking about. I video recorded most of the making of it but of course when the final steps happened and dinner was being prepared, I made the bone head move of taking a shower rather than getting the finished result on video. Boo me.
This stuff is weird and kinda gross. I know Im not supposed to expect ice cream, and I didn’t, but I did not like what I got. The mist disappointing thing was that the cookie pieces were puffy balls of tasteless nothing. The all-natural, non-dairy dessert tasted more like pumpkin pie than vanilla or ginger. I’m thinking that came from the spices and flavorings they used to try to emulate a gingersnap flavor. The flavor that was delivered was unappealing and vague.
Ever wonder what the bastardized cousin of Spam tastes like? Me neither, until I saw this product at Walgreens. It was cheaper then Spam so I said “What the hell?”
This gum is made in Australia and comes in little boxes of about twenty pieces. A box costs less than two bucks, but i forget exactly how much. It tastes like licorice when you first chew it but the flavor quickly makes the transition to pepperminty-gum flavor. I like the narrow little box. It’s unobtrusive, stays intact, holds the gum, and is not made of metal like a lot of mint/candy packaging these days. I’m no Violet Beauregard, gum is usually just gum to me, and I won’t go out of my way to get this gum, but I do preffer it to, say, Eclipse or Orbit in an oh-so-subtle way.
These cookies are yummy. They are made of the same basic elements as
