Not Sure About that Dinner Party? Slip a Little Bacon Salt in Your Handbag

Guided by the belief that everything should taste like bacon, two whimsical dreamers named Justin and Dave launched a product called Bacon Salt. Flavors come in Original, Hickory, Peppered and Natural. Buy it here.*

If you’re not sold by its merits, check out Operation Bacon Salt, a patriotic effort to bring the comforting flavor of bacon to American soldiers overseas. Bacon Salt’s blog keeps readers updated on Operation Bacon Salt and, as a bacony, salty bonus, provides health news and sassy Bacon Salt recipes.

Also — also!!! — there are shirts!

This is what the American Dream is all about. (Well, this and girl-on-girl roller derby.) Thanks blood and milk for the tip.

*We tried calling the hotline and it asked us to leave a message. Suspicious.

UPDATE: The Wexley School for Girls just emailed. Bacon Salt is its client and a real product. Also, Wexley is working on what it calls “fairly innovative (read: oddly tasty)” recipes for future Bacon Salt efforts. Yummay.

Psychology says the difference between being kind and compulsive people-pleasing is whether you can stop doing it without feeling like you’ve committed a crime — which is why some people physically cannot leave a messy restaurant table

Psychology says the boomer women who are most difficult to be close to in later life aren’t the ones who suffered most—they’re the ones who spent decades converting their suffering into a permanent orientation towards the world, one that keeps score, expects compensation, and experiences other people’s happiness as a quiet affront to everything they’ve had to endure
