You Had Me At Bacon

Bacon is a magical meat. This we all know. But here’s an interesting fact that maybe you didn’t…

If you go to Google and type in “things made out of b”, the world’s most widely used search engine, as always, offers up the most popular suggestions. The first is brass. Perfectly understandable, many things are made out of brass.

The second is bacon. Not bronze, not bamboo, not bauxite. Bacon. And you thought it just went well with eggs.

Here are five sculptures people have constructed entirely out of bacon. If you think they look delicious, well…you’re not alone.

Bacon Chalice

Made even more amazing by the fact that it seems to contain a solid liter of melted cheese, it’s hard to look at this bacon chalice and not wonder, “Where do we go from here?” Probably made for entertainment sake, it’s most likely only a matter of time before McDonald’s makes this a staple on their menu. But don’t worry – If you’re looking for a healthy alternative, you’ll also be able to order it filled with salad instead of cheddar.

Bacon AK-47

Notice the trend in these next three pictures of people joining bacon together with other things they either love, or find personally interesting. This, for example, is a guy who loves guns. He probably woke up one day and asked himself, “What can I do to make my favorite thing even awesomer?” This model of AK-47 shoots appetizing bacon bits, and can dress a salad from 100 yards away.

Bacon AT-AT

In a galaxy far, far away where Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and the rest of the Rebel Alliance were vegans, this is what the Empire would send to destroy their hidden base camp. It’s hard not to look at this and wonder how many strips of bacon actually went into its construction. On second thought, it’s probably best that question remain unanswered…

Bacon Vince Lombardi Trophy

Bacon3

The greatest prize in professional football finally comes in bacon form. It’s hard to tell if Vince Lombardi would be proud to lay eyes on this thing, but I like to think he would. While the regular Superbowl trophy is an unquestionably great prize, one can’t help but wonder if certain NFLers would play just a little harder to win a trophy made entirely out of pork. Linebackers, I’m looking at you.

Bacon Spouse

Bacon6

If you’re lonely and already have a cholesterol problem, there may be no better way to snuff yourself out than by making your very own Bacon Spouse. Sure, every kiss brings you one step closer to a massive heart attack and they leave grease stains on the sofa whenever you watch Lost together, but hey, at least they make a mean breakfast.
