By far one of the most functional items on this list, bacon flavoured envelopes are fun for everyone - especially if you're someone who still sends mail via post. Not only is this an awesome idea, but Uncommon Goods, a site where they used to be sold, features a warning that bacon lovers should heed (and clearly that some weren't, giving rise to the need for the warning in the first place): "Do not eat the envelope. Warning: Eating someone else's mail is a federal crime." That's some niche comedy right there. As you can see, bacon flavoured envelopes not only taste like bacon, but they feature a design inspired by the wonderful food, offering further opportunity to advertise the wonderful foodie invention for not only yourself and the recipient of the letter, but also all of the postal workers who presumably have to deal with boring non-baconny envelopes all day.
11. Bacon Toothpaste
Yes, it's real, and yes, it's in stock. It may sound like a horrible idea, but then why should mint have the monopoly on the mouth hygiene market? All spearmint actually does is wipe out any delicious residual flavours that might have been lingering in your mouth since breakfast, which is inevitably devastating when that breakfast included bacon. At this point in time, bacon toothpaste is mostly found under the "novelty gift" or "gag gift" section of online shopping centres, but it's only a matter of time before this changes, as people start to understand how important it is to get even just the taste of bacon in your mouth in order to start the day right.
