These novelty fortune-telling bacon strips from NeatoShop are all you need to predict life’s biggest mysteries, such as when's the next time you'll get to eat bacon? Why you aren't eating bacon at that exact moment? This clever device mimics the iconic Magic Eight Ball in that it responds to questions with different results. Instead of giving clear cut answers however, this cheeky piece of bacon does a little dance, where each move represents a different answer.
Novelty fortune telling could be considered slightly taboo, but how could one resist this bacon-shaped device? Many of us knew it possessed magical powers, but not until now did we realize just how powerful they were. The only problem with this bacon product is that it's unfortunately inedible.
