The MMMMvelopes Are a Bacon-Flavored Treat

— May 30, 2011 — Unique
The MMMMvelopes are a bacon lover's dream. They are a simple twist on a classic method of communication. The smokey sealers are designed to have a bacon-like pattern on it with its light pink color and white fat strips. The licker gets a treat when it comes time to seal the letter as the smokey bacon flavor infuses your mouth. With an accurate slogan of "Everything Should Taste Like Bacon" the MMMMvelopes are convincing enough to forgo the email and send everything by written hand.

If you're not fully sold on the taste of MMMMvelopes, according to ThinkGeek, "No more envelopes that taste like finely aged butt cheese. No more tiny sponges dipped in water to avoid the taste of finely aged butt cheese."
