More bacon gifts for the holidays

The problem with telling people you love bacon is that you'll receive a slew of awful bacon gag gifts. Bacon mints, bacon toothpicks, bacon air freshener, bacon gummy candy, bacon neckties... I have them all. This year, if you have a bacon fanatic on your list, love them enough to get them a quality bacon-themed gift. If you can't manage that, just get them some bacon.

Wow. You know how a good song can get old real quick if it's played on the radio a million times? That's how I feel about bacon these days.
