This item requires no introduction.
*Note: I'm still toying with the photography for this site, pardon the non-uniform look of the pictures.
For my birthday, I received this fabulous product (thanks to my awesome brother and his wife) and needless to say, it cried out to be reviewed.
I love bacon. Bacon rules. I dare you to come up with something that isn't made imminently better by bacon. Sadly this bacon does not taste like bacon but that's ok. It still looks like bacon, a helluva lot like it and just looking at it makes me happy.
So according to the oh so helpful handling instructions on the box, I wasn't supposed to fry this stuff up. Which was disappointing because the best part about eating bacon is the wonderful crackling sounds that go along with cooking it. I don't have a microwave either, so at least I couldn't be tempted to put it in there.
Out of the box, this stuff really does look like the real deal. Pretty uncanny. It's even sticky and greasy, like real bacon! The box even had a bacon viewing window, like real bacon!
It's strawberry flavored and that was immediately obvious once it was unwrapped. The smell was very strong, nearly overwhelming. A nice smell though, like real strawberries.
The gummy was pretty firm, but not hard and had a nice chew to it. My jaws were not taxed to the breaking point with these. The strawberry flavor was clean and not super artificial tasting.
Very well done.
The picture at the right was taken after I took a bite out of it
and you can barely seem my teeth marks. The gummy reformed and melded back
together after the bite.

Pretty cool.
I couldn't get over how real this stuff looked! For the bacon lover or even the bacon hater (but honestly, those people should just be force fed bacon until they realize how perfect of a food it is), this is really too perfect of a gift.
I was told this was purchased at Hot Topic but you can also get it online from Archie McPhee, where they proclaim "pickles yodel and lederhosen run free!"
