The entrepreneur-humanitarians behind Bacon Salt, Bacon Pop, and Baconnaise have introduced two new products. J & D’s has expanded their bacon flavoring empire to bacon-flavored microwave popcorn and another product that is neither food nor seasoning—snail-mail envelopes.
I guess if you have to lick envelopes, they may as well taste—and look—like bacon.
Mmmvelopes [J & D's]

Why bother? I can just lick myself and get the same effect
@Radi0logy: I wish to get to know you better.
@Radi0logy: Is that because you’re infected with swine flu?
@Radi0logy: You can lick yourself? I’m impressed.
Oh, wait, you didn’t specify where.
@Applekid: May I offer you my number?
@Radi0logy: Unlike the others, I think perhaps I would like to know less. And I’m fairly certain this is independent of my veganness.
Only one thing tastes like bacon and that’s the return envelope from my cardiologist!
Please tell me I’m not the only one who kind of wants to try bacon-flavored popcorn.
@lucky929: You can put bacon salt on it too!
@lucky929: Well… there are people i guess. Though i do not want to think about them, really.
@lucky929: Clearly you’re not, there’s a waiting list!
@lucky929: wait, you’ve never popped popcorn in the microwave with bacon grease instead of olive oil? How do I reech these keeds?
@GitEmSteveDave_WantzTaunTaunBag: No, but I’m looking for ways to cook bacon that don’t involve setting off the smoke alarm.
@lucky929: step 1: remove batteries from smoke alarm
step 2: make bacon
I’m gonna order a truckload of that popcorn….
Bacon popcorn sounds delicious.
But why for would i want bacon flavored envelope glue ???
@parkj238: Um…why would you not?
I seriously love these guys. And I would totally buy bacon-flavored envelopes.
The snozberries taste like snozberries!
@diasdiem:
Ha ha ha
Genius!
Didn’t the British have a problem with something like this in 1850′s India?
Wait, @R3PUBLIC0N: Beat me too it!
Don’t sell these envelopes to the sepoys.
@R3PUBLIC0N: Yep. The British empire started using a new rifle, and the cartridge for the rifle was greased with animal fat. The soldier would have to bite the cartridge to tear off the packaging in order to load it. A rumor started that the grease used was a mixture of cow and pig fat. The cow was sacred to Hindus, and the pig was considered unclean to Muslims, so a mutiny started based on the rumor. They switched to vegetable grease, but it was too late.

I love me some bacon, but those envelopes just sound disgusting. Wouldn’t it taste like envelope glue mixed with bacon? Makes me gag just thinking about it.
@Kuchen: I think the idea is that glue mixed with bacon is better than glue mixed with glue.
@failurate: It sounds worse to me. I’ll continue to use a sponge instead of my tongue.
I have a feeling a lot more men (specifically my BF) will be posting letters thanks to those envelopes.
@Thenameismaia: And the poor letter carriers are going to have to handle sodden, overlicked envelopes.
@floraposte: You think that’s bad, remember that dogs have a sense of smell 1000x better than ours. I wonder how dogs feel about bacon….
@GitEmSteveDave_WantzTaunTaunBag: They love it 1000x more?
I think they will soon be traded on the futures and commodities markets.
Mmmmmm, fried envelope flaps and eggs, the breakfast of champions.
@Blueskylaw: scrambled egg flavored stamps anyone?
Just found out that the bacon salt is vegetarian, picked up a 3 pack for my husband for a stocking stuffer. I know he’s gonna freak, he hasn’t had bacon in years. (Plus he would eat salt with a spoon if I let him, his blood pressure’s gonna sky rocket when he hits 30)
Am I the only one that thought “bacon pop” was some sort of soda? I’m sad now.
@JeffMc: I was gunning for bacon popsicle. No dice.
You can still buy toothpaste flavored to taste like scotch or bourbon. Why not bacon flavored anything?
Bourbon flavored toothpaste? Huh. I need to imbibe a few before that stuff starts even tasting okay, to me. But then I’m a lightweight. Maybe Sam Adams Amber Wheat toothpaste for me.
Office stores are going to be weirded out by guys coming back for ANOTHER 500 envelopes the next DAY. Sheepishly. And with paper cuts all over their tongues.
Mailmen already have a natural enemy in the dog, and now we’re putting bait right in their hands. Or shoulder bags I suppose.
Archie MacPhee for all your bacon needs! Seriously, they have a thing for bacon.
