Bacon-Flavored Jellybeans Make a Great Gag Gift
Katie Cordrey — December 9, 2010 — Pop Culture
Bacon-flavored jellybeans may not be the first thing on your gift shopping list, but if you're giving to one of those people who think of bacon as the perfect food, perhaps they should be.
Bacon Beans are packed sixty to a nifty painted bacon-shaped tin. The bacon-flavored jellybeans are editable. The tin is not. Though not as highly rated for taste as real bacon, Bacon Beans claim to be better for your arteries.
Implications - This is the perfect item for any bacon lover in your world, and if you're anything like me, you know many. Personally, bacon-flavored jellybeans are not my bag, hell, I have trouble eating the yellow ones, but this could help you move up the "friends who really know me" list if you bestow it on the right bacon-lover.
