Bacon of the Month Club

Web Opens Doors to Ultra Niche Clubs

— March 22, 2007 — Lifestyle
It's the year of the pig, and everybody's gettin' jiggy with the bacon. It's a feature of just about every place I visit on the Internet! Seriously! Who knew there was a bacon-of-the-month club? I thought that was some kind of television sitcom joke? Well, there really is a Bacon of The Month Club and it's for the hardcore bacon enthusiast - Homer Simpson style. Their membership includes a package a month of the finest bacons they have reviewed, and their list of reviews includes over 40 brands of bacon. They have lots of other great gift items and my personal favorites are the bacon, lettuce, and tomato votive candles, they must be a seriously trippy experience when you burn all three at the same time. They also have bacon-imprinted toilet paper, but at $9.95 a roll, you might want to consider rations when you wipe your bacon.

The site describes the benefit of membership:
• A different artisan bacon delivered to your door each month for 12 months
• Informative notes on all bacon selections
• Discounts on The Grateful Palate bacon products and bacons
• Bacon of the Month Club Membership Card
• The bacon strip–Our members only monthly bacon comic strip
• The Bacon of the Month Club Pig Ballpoint Pen
• A little Rubber Toy Pig
• One free Bacon Tee-Shirt
• A recipe each month using the bacon selected
• Discounts on suggested wines and products in recipes
• And­â€“new for 2007–a pig nose!
