PorkKleen Bacon Scented Hand Sanitizer

I know it's been too long since I've put up a new post and I have so many great skull things that would have been good for holiday presents too, but sometimes real life just gets in the way. However, nothing could break me out of my funk faster than this.

PorkKleen Bacon Scented Hand Sanitizer - $3.99

Bacon Lube is here!

It started as a April Fool's joke. Little did J&D's realize that people would actually be clamoring for it. Not ones to let down their bacon-loving bretheren, J&D's made it happen.





Baconlube™, the world's first bacon-flavored personal lubricant and massage oil ($11.99). Now before you start wrinking your nose and making "ew" faces, have you ever tasted regular lube? I imagine this can only be an improvement.

KFC's Cheesy Bacon Bowl Giveaway!

A few weeks ago I got an email asking if I wanted to try KFC’s new Cheesy Bacon Bowl. Are you kidding? Of course I would LOVE to try it! Being a huge fan of KFC to begin with, there's no way I could miss this opportunity.

In case you haven't already heard, KFC's Cheesy Bacon Bowl features a generous serving of creamy mashed potatoes, layered with sweet kernel corn and loaded with bite-sized pieces of crispy Popcorn Chicken. The entire bowl is drizzled with signature home-style gravy and topped off with a shredded three-cheese blend – and now, a layer of bacon. For only $3.99

A few days later, I got home from work and found this waiting for me:
KFC

So exciting! This Cheesy Bacon Bowl Taste Test Kit had:

  • Spork and spatula – to get in every nook and cranny of the Cheesy Bacon Bowl’s six delicious layers
  • A bowl inside an awesome KFC + Bacon = Love "hat box"
  • KFC Gift Checks and a gift card (to buy the gas to get me there)
  • A Bacon Air Freshener and a “KFC + Bacon = Love” Bumper Sticker
I must give my apologies to the nice woman who sent this to me because it took me a little longer than I thought it would to actually get to KFC. But, I finally made it this weekend and, WOW, that Bacon Bowl was delicious! I'm already dreaming about going back to get another one.

Now here the even better part - I get to give one lucky follower a Cheesy Bacon Bowl Taste Test Kit! That's right, it's a giveaway! All you need to do is leave me a comment about how much you really want to try the Bacon Bowl and why. I'll take comments for the next three days and then pick a random name out of the KFC + Bacon = Love bowl. Please don't leave an anonymous comment as I'll need to email you to let you know if you've won! After you leave a comment, head on over to KFC.com to check out their new bacon-centric commercials. Good luck!

My New Sugar Skull Shower Curtain

I finally had to replace my Jeremy Fish bunny skull shower curtain. As much as I loved it, plastic shower curtains only last so long. I was super happy when I found this sugar skull shower curtain at HowCool.com. I was only $19.14 and it's nice quality too. Looks awesome in my bathroom!

And here it is in my bathroom, next to my sparkly skull soap dispenser, which I bought for full price at Bath & Body Works but you can get on clearance right now for only $3. Move fast though!

Staying in the sugar skull theme, they also have these fancy pillows:

Die-Cut Sugar Skull Pillow - $14.74Die-cut Sugar Skull Pillow

Sugar Skull Muerte Pillow - $10.58Sugar Skull Muerte Pillow

I'm about maxed out with the amount of skulls I can decorate my bathroom with. I've got the shower curtain, hand towels, bath rug and soap dispenser. About the only thing I don't have in there is a skull toilet seat but I'm thinking that might be overdoing it?

Bacon Rug!

I know it's hard to believe, but after four years of bacon blogging, I've finally found a bacon rug! You know I put my order in the minute I saw it. Hand-hooked, polyester and acrylic with cotton backing. For indoor use. 52"L x 15"W.

If you need me, I'll be sitting outside by my mailbox waiting for my new bacon rug to arrive.

Skulls @ Target - Halloween 2011

If you haven't gone to Target yet for their 2011 Halloween and Skull stuff, stop reading now and run there. I'm late in posting this and the cool stuff has a tendency to fly off the shelves. I was stalking Target until they got their Halloween selection on the shelves and I've had to go back a few times, each time they had different items, and hidden throughout the store. Not everything is on their website either, so you have to GO.

Here are my favorite finds this year:

Skull Bath Rug - this one is my favorite find of the season and I did a happy dance around the store when I saw it. It's not on the website and wasn't in the stores the first two times I went shopping. 3rd time was the charm!

Skull Hand Towels - Another item not on the website. These are velvety and satiny and look awesome with the skull bath rug.

Skull Pillow

Skull Kitchen Towels - These are out of stock on the website but plenty in the store last time I went.

Skull Dinner Plate

Skull Cereal Bowl

Skull Porcelin Tray - one of the first things out at Target this year and my store only had three total. You'll be lucky to still find one I think but it's definitely worth looking for.

They also had a bunch more skull cookie jars but they were the same as last year and I already have three of them. I also picked up some black skeleton arm salad tongs. More skull salt & pepper shakers, garland, lights, too much to even list them all. Needless to say, I'm broke, my apartment is bursting at the seams with more skull stuff than I know what to do with and I'm really happy.

Adam from Big Brother 13 in a Skulls & Bacon t-shirt!

So just to follow up, if you haven't followed Big Brother Season 13 this summer...My friend Adam made it to the final three but Rachel ended up winning. Still, he did really awesome and I think it's great that he got to live one of his dreams.

The Skulls and Bacon t-shirt that was supposed to be in his gift basket when he won the HOH competion wasn't included so he didn't get it until the show was over. However, he was rockin' the Skulls And Bacon tee at the afterparty in Vegas, baby!



And today I see an article about Adam's time in the BB House in one of our local papers, here's the best quote ever:

And what will he miss the most about the Big Brother house?

"The unlimited supply of bacon," he answered without a moment of hesitation. "Not one week did we ever run out of bacon. Now, when I want bacon, I can't go to the storage room and just pull out another package. I'm going to have to go to the store and buy it."


Thanks for keeping me company on TV and the live feeds all summer, Adam! I hope your transition back into the world is filled with bacon and much love.

Now I know there's only a few hours left in the day, but if you hurry there's a coupon just for today since it's Talk Like A Pirate Day - Take 15% Off All Skulls & Bacon T-shirts! Use Code: AAARRRGGGHHH

*See previous posts on Adam/Big Brother/Bacon t-shirts here.

Either You Like Bacon Or You're Wrong

Ok, so I was on vacation and missed posting on International Bacon Day. On the plus side, I was in Atlantic City at the buffet with unlimited bacon, so I win.

This cartoon is from one of my favorite sites, NatalieDee.com

Internet Bacon Lovers are not normal

Discuss.

I would like to nominate "All My Clothes Are Bacon" to replace the old internet meme "All Your Base Are Belong To Us". If you need help exchanging all of your "normal" (i.e. boring) clothes for bacon clothes, SnorgTees has some new shirts to help you along:

Either You Like Bacon Or You're Wrong

Keep Calm and Put Bacon On

And don't forget the good old standby bacon tees are still available:

B is for Bacon

And if you're watching Big Brother, my friend Adam is still in the house. Tune in tonight, I've heard a rumor that he may win HOH and if he does he just might get a fabulous Skulls and Bacon shirt in his gift basket!

I can find them online but I've been searching the liquor stores in NJ and NYC to no avail. If anyone sees them in the stores please leave me a comment to let me know where. They aren't cheap but those bottles are so cool I really don't care. I'm on a misson.

P.S. I almost forgot to mention that I've emailed from the KAH website and sent them a message on Twitter and no response in over a week. :(

Big Brother Season 13 - Meet Adam (He Loves Bacon!)

I don't normally watch the reality show Big Brother but an old friend of mine, Adam Poch, is a houseguest on Big Brother 13, which started this past week. Adam is a fellow metal-head and bacon lover so I featured him in this blog post from back in 2008.

I am so excited to see him on tv and his introduction to the other housemates was nothing but priceless:

"I'm a metal-head, I love bacon and my favorite tv show besides Big Brother is Beverly Hills 90210." Hahahahaha - love you Adam!

You can learn more about Adam here: welovebigbrother.com/adam-poch and support a fellow bacon fan by joining his Official Adam Poch BB13 Facebook Fan Page.

Denny's Baconalia! Win a trip to Baconfest 2011

I would be neglecting my duty to promote bacon if I didn't get my butt over here and spread the word about “Baconalia! A Celebration of Bacon.” at Denny's.

For a limited time, Denny's has added 7 new bacon dishes:
The Ultimate Bacon Breakfast, Bacon Flapjacks, Pepper Bacon and Eggs, Triple Bacon Sampler, BBBLT Sandwich, Bacon Meatloaf, and the Maple Bacon Sundae.



The Daily Bacon has actually been to Denny's to celebrate Baconalia and has a review and some pics on their blog. I can really appreciate the new menu:



Even better, to celebrate the launch of their new Baconalia celebration, Denny’s is giving away a trip for two to Chicago to attend the *sold out* Baconfest 2011 on April 9!

In addition, they are also giving away $100 Denny’s gift cards to five Second Prize winners.

To enter just visit the Denny’s Facebook page and click on the Baconfest Sweeps tab to enter your info.

I can't wait to visit Denny's, I wish there was one closer to me!

A Skulls & Bacon Tattoo and Bacon Toothpaste

I honestly can't believe I haven't updated this blog since the beginning of December. I'm so lazy, it's a wonder I don't just microwave my bacon in the morning. It took Matthew Stroul from Austin, TX to kick me into gear when he sent me pics of his new tattoo. His new SKULLS & BACON tattoo!



How awesome, right? I love it. Now if I ever decide to get one I'll just be an imitator, Matthew is the original.

While I'm here, I can't not post about Archie McPhee's new, amazing bacony wonder - Bacon Toothpaste!


bacon toothpaste


They say it's the perfect way to keep your teeth and gums healthy while coating your mouth with the delicious flavor of smoky meat. 2.5 oz of potent paste for only $4.50, but they do have a video warning bacon-lovers not to eat the toothpaste, no matter how enticing that idea may be.



That's it for now. Hopefully someone is still reading this blog after my self-indulgent hiatis.
