One of the most hotly contested races of this most historic of election years was in Colorado's State Senate District 14, between Bob Bacon (D) and Matt Fries (R). Well, the voters have spoken, giving Bacon a clear mandate. Let's hope he reaches across the aisle and joins Fries and fellow party members (with a little cheese thrown in) to create a Bacon-Cheese-Fries coalition.

Some people may think that having an appliance dedicated solely to bacon-making is absurd, but I am totally enamored with the WowBacon Microwave Bacon Cooker. Even better? Their product descriptions and FAQs page are as mesmerizing to read as shampoo directions.

Think of a product — any product. You won't have to wait too long for someone to make one in a bacon version.
Bacon jelly beans are just one more inappropriate bacon offering.

When will the bacon-scented product madness end?! I love bacon as much as the next gal — probably more than the next gal. But the idea of getting into my (imaginary) hot car after
Funky Bacon Car Air Freshener has been stinking up the joint with its faux hickory-scented pig strips is enough to make me give up sunny side up eggs, home fries, and bacon for good.

Just when you thought the
bacon trend was fizzling out (mmm, fizzle sounds a lot like sizzle!) and that people couldn't come up with more bizarre bacon-themed products, along comes
Bacon Floss. Forget minty freshness, I want some smoked pork breath, and I want it now!
