Resistance is futile. You KNOW you want it. Behold, the Bacon Shake from Jack in the Box.
The SFist writes:
So, Jack in the Box created a Bacon Milkshake. Why? Because you secretly want one, that's why. Shame on you. The noted fast food chain, it seems, wanted to create bacon-tinged buzz. This will probably do the trick. It's all part of a new ad campaign that asks: If you like bacon so much, why don't you marry it? SFist called our local Jack to ask more about the porky dessert. When we asked if it had real bacon in it, the store manger explained, "Real bacon? Ugh no. It's just a flavored shake, flavored with syrup, I think."
We haven't been this intrigued since the advent of the Jumbaco.

The guys from Epic Meal Time are no strangers to bacon, in fact, it’s safe to say that their entire career rests on the back of those sizzling strips of pork.
But this time they have stepped up their game to an epic level, creating this monster Christmas tree made from over 2000 pieces of bacon, and registering at a whopping 272,000 calories! See if you can stomach this NSFW foray into culinary insanity.

Microsoft wants to hire the best engineers for its Kinect project, but that’s hard when there are so many tech companies in the Seattle area vying for prospective employees. It hired the ad agency Wexley School for Girls to find a solution. The agency did so: bacon. Wexley set up a food cart outside of Amazon.com’s headquarters and invited workers there to have some bacon:
The promo made its debut today in the shadow of Amazon.com headquarters in South Lake Union, where a stream of bacon lovers braved the downpour for free strips of Swinery pepper bacon.
Also free were toppings, including spray cheese, Sriracha, peanut butter, maple syrup and chocolate sauce.
Serious candidates may even get a bacon air freshener.
I just looked outside the door and there’s no cart from anyone in front of the Neatorama office. I feel a bit unloved.

Nick of DudeFoods deep fried balls of bacon mayonnaise. He started out by freezing baconnaise in an ice cube tray, then wrapping each cube with wonton wrappers. After deep frying and eating the balls, he referred to them as “absolutely terrible.” Presumably he means that in a good way.

The guys from Epic Meal Time are blowing up YouTube with their crazy food-centric comedy videos, recipes seemingly created by Paula Dean while she was on acid, and devil may care attitudes that make them a big hit with the ladies. Every recipe these guys dream up starts with trays full of bacon, and become more and more insane as another ingredient is added. This edition, entitled Sausage Fest, shows you how to make sausage out of big macs and beef sandwiches, among other crazy combinations of (often fried) food which have never been stuffed in a sausage casing before. Let Epic Meal Time show you why things get strange in the kitchen when you’re cooking drunk.
Putting all of that lorem ipsum copy in for text filler in a design is sooooo boring, isn’t it? Why not jazz up your in-progress creations with something a little… meatier? The Bacon Ipsum generator is only one of the options Mashable provides, but it’s my personal favorite. You can also add text from classic books, scripts from TV shows or the lyrics to TV theme songs. I take it back – I think TV theme songs is my favorite.

Is it possible to improve upon a work by Van Gogh? Instructables user CopperTwist proves, beyond all doubt, that the answer is ‘yes’. Just substitute various pork products for paint.

Modern love is best expressed with bacon, but for the traditionalist, there are always bacon roses. Instructables user kaptaink_cg explains how to make them. You’ll need a broiling pan, a mini muffin pan, marbles, and a drill. It’ll be necessary to actually destroy the muffin pan, but it’ll be worth it.

The Denny’s restaurant chain understands that everything can be improved upon with the proper application of bacon. That’s why its chefs are now offering maple syrup sundaes with bacon bits sprinkled on top and between the layers:
Bacon makes a classic ice cream sundae even more awesome. We start with maple-flavored syrup, and a scoop of rich, creamy vanilla ice cream and then a generous sprinkle of our diced hickory-smoked bacon. Add another sweet layer of syrup and vanilla ice cream topped with even more bacon and a drizzle of syrup.
Be sure to look for other bacon-y goodies in our Bacon Store. Question: do you think that “Bacon” would make a good baby name?

Ah, bacon. Is there anything it can’t do? Add this to the incredible power of bacon: it’s the gateway meat for vegetarians!
[Johan Lundstrom] a scientist who runs a lab at the Monell Chemical Senses Center. He studies how the brain processes sensory information, like smell, for a living. He also told us he had an ex-girlfriend who became an ex-vegetarian once she tasted bacon.
Because bacon is one- to two-thirds fat and also has lots of protein, it speaks to our evolutionary quest for calories, Lundstrom says. And
since 90 percent of what we taste is really odor, bacon’s aggressive smell delivers a powerful hit to our sense of how good it will taste."There’s an intimate connection between odor and emotion, and odor and memory," Lundstrom says. "When you pair that with the social atmosphere of weekend breakfast and hunger, bacon is in the perfect position to take advantage of how the brain is wired."

Someone had to do it sooner or later. It’s a new way to add delicious bacon to your holidays -bacon Pumpkin Pie!
In the spirit of fall here in the Pacific Northwest, here is a recipe of my friend Joe’s own design! He sought to bring bacon to the dessert menu, and hunted for a pie media capable of sustaining a bacon infusion while retaining deliciousness. Pumpkin (perhaps rhubarb) is the only one he could think of. I offer this recipe to all you bacon lovers out there.
Complete directions are at Allrecipes. Link -Thanks, Peter!
