This Week in Bacon

Posted by Kim on Sep. 23, 2008

Breaking from Baylen’s usual Friday musings about bacon, I thought I would share something today that just couldn’t wait: the latest in bacon dental hygiene.

Most people brush and floss their teeth to get that refreshing minty, clean feeling in their mouth. Well, now you can leave your mouth with the delicious taste of crisp bacon (all while actually cleaning your teeth too), without the fat!

Fred Flare boutique has recently started selling a new product — bacon floss.

It is not just for breakfast any more… So wrong it’s right, this pack of dental floss has the delicious flavor of crispy bacon! Is there anything bacon cannot improve? We think not.

While that might be true — bacon does improve nearly everything — I don’t know if I could say that it would improve my flossing. Especially for $9 plus shipping and handling. A pack of bacon costs less than that — if I want my mouth to have that delicious bacon taste in it, I would rather it come from eating the bacon, rather than flossing with it. And, I’m pretty sure 0 in 5 dentists recommend it.

    My question is whether they use natural or artificial bacon flavoring. And how does one extract the bacon flavor from the bacon?

    I think I'd prefer bacon-flavored toothpicks for my bacon hygiene needs.

    I'm hoping this floss was created to be a gag gift...you know...for all the bacon fanatics in your life. I really can't think of anything less clean-feeling than bacon.

    Breast milk ice cream, fake chocolate, BACON FLOSS...very interesting. It seems like you are doing a great job guest blogging!
