Making a list and checking it, ah, what's this?

From the people who brought us the Yodeling Pickle, glow-in-the-dark Flesh Eating Zombies play set, and the unforgettably grotesque Gummy Haggis (it looks like a giant swollen turd), come these succulent gummy bacon strips. Uncle Oinker’s Gummy Bacon Strips from Archie McPhee are “so realistic you’ll want to serve them with an egg and a side of hash browns” the box warns. But don’t! Because this is candy and that’d be gross. Or, grosser. Indeed, these gummy strips of meat are lifelike in every way but one: they apparently taste like strawberries. Why strawberries, I wonder? Who knows. But at only $3.49 per 4-piece package, these could well be the bargain of the holiday season. And if gummy bacon just isn’t your thing (you’re not alone), rest assured, Archie McPhee has a full consortium of bacon-themed gifts to appease your carnivorous appetite like, oxymoronic mints, toothpicks, air fresheners, and, my personal favorite, a bacon pennant for the die-hards. Keep your eye’s peeled for more gift-giving ideas throughout this jolly season. And in the meantime, check out Archie McPhee’s site by clicking on the post's title.
